HERC camp kids will be able to exercise their creative muscles with interest-driven and creative academic projects!

Morning- Classical Age
The classical age was from about 500BC to about 700AD. Our activities will include coded communications, making cardboard lighthouse, a small book and making catapults and crossbows out of craft sticks.

We'll learn about one of the most important inventions in the world that is not related to an absolute necessity, invented in the Dark Ages. It actually helped bring about the Renaissance!
