“Offering just the right balance of learning and fun, these are everything summer camps should be. Every day will bring something new and different — older kids will enjoy the challenge and younger campers will love mastering simple techniques. At the end of each summer session, all campers will come away with new learning, great memories, and lots of take-homes.” -Rikki Davenport, curator of education at Drayton Hall.
