2008 Summer Camps


Week at the World’s Fair, 1893

June 9-13
10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Ages 9 to 11

The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 captured the imagination of the entire country. The Village’s costumed, living history characters will share how the lives of Dallas residents were influenced by an event hundreds of miles away. Spend each day with a different character. See what Mrs. Blum learned about photography when she attended the Fair. Hear about the new products Mr. Schmidt saw that he must have for sale in the General Store. Discover what you might have done instead of going to the Fair. Campers will also design their own fair attraction and display to share with family and fellow campers.
