Growing Up in Greenmanville
11 to 14-year-olds

If you have always wanted to learn about the past by living it, then this is the camp for you! The older students in this program learn about first-person interpretation, or roleplaying, by researching and adopting the personas of young women living in Mystic in 1876. It is an exciting year, full of nostalgia for America's colonial past as well as visions of the future, where a seaport girl is just as likely to go on to a career as to stay at home. From exploring nineteenth-century documents in the Museum's collections to donning an outfit in your character's wardrobe, you will not only better understand how girls became women in 1876 - you'll see how much like you they really were. (Go to Meet the Roleplayers for a look at the characters who already inhabit 1876!)
