ArchiCamp offered in Delphi
Indiana Landmarks, the Wabash & Erie Canal Interpretive Center, and the Delphi Preservation Society offer a twoday ArchiCamp for children on June 22 at the Delphi Opera House and June 23 at the Canal Interpretive Center. Participants spend both days - from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. - discovering the exciting history of Delphi and its landmark architecture.
Campers will experience the architectural detail of the Delphi Opera House as they try their hand at stained glass window design, ornamental plaster, and gold gilding. On June 23 campers will travel back in time to ride a canal boat, visit a historic lock, and learn about the re-creation of the old lime kilns along the canal bank. There will also be plenty of time for climbing on the playground boat and exploring the trails. This is the fourth year for the Delphi ArchiCamp. Winner of a prestigious award from the American Association for State and Local History, ArchiCamps encourage children ages 8-12 to use their imagination and power of observation while teaching them about history, architecture, and renovation.
Cost of the camp is $30 and includes refreshments, educational materials, and souvenirs. Campers should bring a sack lunch both days. Enrollment for the camp is limited to 20 children. Reservations must be made by June 18. For more information or to make a reservation, contact Suzanne Stanis at Indiana Landmarks, 800-450-4534, sstanis@indianalandmarks.org.
