Glen Foerd Summer Camp Monday, July 12, through Friday, July 16, 2010 8:30 am until 2:30 pm each day Glen Foerd on the Delaware has scheduled a five day summer camp for children 9 to 12 years of age. This camp experience will introduce children to local art, history, nature and culture. Students will gain an appreciation for these subjects through hands-on activities during the week. Conceived as a camp for ages 9 through 12, this program will utilize the art, history and architecture of the mansion and the beautiful grounds at the Glen Foerd estate. Each day will have a different theme and the modest enrollment size will allow for one-on-one assistance by the event’s various coordinators. The camp is funded by a registration fee of $25.00 per camper along with additional support provided by the Cultural Fund.
