\u201cDesign Your Own Marvelous Minature Camp\u201d features a hands-on exploration of architecture, interior design, color, toys, furniture, and more.<\/em><\/p>\n BETHLEHEM, Pa. (March 28, 2024)<\/strong>\u2014Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites (HBMS)<\/u><\/a> announced that its summer camp, \u201cDesign Your Own Marvelous Miniature Camp,\u201d is accepting applications for the 2024 season. The camp, tailored for children ages 7 to 12, has two five-day sessions and runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with drop-off beginning at 8:30 a.m., at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts. Session one begins on June 24 and ends on June 28; session two begins on July 8 and ends on July 12.<\/p>\n Each day features a hands-on exploration of architecture, interior design, color, toys, furniture, and more. At the end of the session, all campers take home a finished structure that they customized and furnished, and parents are welcome for a show-and-tell on the last day.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited to help curb the dreaded summer slide and keep kids’ minds and hands engaged with this camp,\u201d stated Lindsey Jancay, director of collections & engagement at HBMS. \u201cCampers don\u2019t realize they are learning design, math, architecture, and functionality while with us. The camp fuels their creativity and introduces them to new topics they may not learn in school.\u201d<\/p>\n The summer camp is being held at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts, Pennsylvania\u2019s only museum dedicated to decorative arts and one of only 15 museums in the country for the topic. The museum speaks to the changes in style and design over three centuries and reflects the passionate expression of its founder, local collector Annie S. Kemerer, and her love of beautiful objects. Born in 1865 just south of Bethlehem, Annie enjoyed surrounding herself with stunning furniture, paintings and decorative art.<\/p>\n While at the Kemerer, campers will get up close and personal with the Elizabeth Johnston Prime dollhouse collection, one of the largest in the United States, and apply what they learn about architecture, design, and functionality to their structure.<\/p>\n The session costs $250 for HBMS members and $300 for non-members. Interested parties can register for the summer camp through HBMS\u2019s website,<\/p>\n www.historicbethlehem.org\/shop\/product\/design-your-own-dollhouse-camp<\/u><\/a>.
