Doak House Museum hosts day camp for home-schooled students
Making a butterfly decoration was one of the activities during an enrichment day camp for home-schooled students held March 1-4 at the Doak House Museum.
Twenty-three children from Northeast Tennessee participated in "Investigating History," the annual quality enrichment day camp. During the camp, the participants, ages 5-12, had the opportunity to learn what life was like in the 19th century through investigation of artifacts, crafts, stories, gardening, insects and plants of the period.
The hands-on activities during the camp included analyzing artifacts found in past archeological digs at the Doak House Museum site.
The day camp is one of the many educational programs at the Doak House Museum, the home of Tusculum College co-founder the Rev. Samuel Witherspoon Doak.
The museum provides seasonal educational programs throughout the year, focusing on life in the 19th century and Character Counts. For more information about the Doak House Museum and its educational programs, call (423) 636-8554 or 1-800-729-0256 ext. 5251.
