Camp 2015 Time Periods

  Hello!
    The Growing Up Through History Camp staff is gearing up for another summer of BRINGING AMERICAN HISTORY TO LIFE! We have had a tough time deciding what eras of our nation's past to emphasize this year. Below are the times we have decided on. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, and leave a comment!

    ~ We will be posting information on the costumes of each era soon, so check back soon! ~

Our Theme for 2015:

EVERY GIRL CAN MAKE A CHANGE, NO-MATTER WHAT TIME SHE LIVES IN!

We will be following three girls' lives during camp week. Get a sneak peek at their stories below!
   
     1914- THE BATTLE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS
On this day we will be meeting Maria Schmidt, a German girl who learns of the effort to give women the right to vote. Maria wrestles with confusion within as she finds out what she believes, and how to stand up for it.

1931- THE GREAT DEPRESSION
Anna Harrington is confused about the time she is living in. She likes the feed-sack dresses her mother makes for her to wear school, and she doesn't mind only purchasing what she really needs, but Anna notices that there is sadness around her. When Anna's father nearly loses his job, Anna decides to make a difference in every way she can.


     1944- THE HOME FRONT IN WORLD WAR 2
 Although she is far from the war, Jennie Fleming's life has changed. The field her brother and her once played baseball on has become the family's "Victory Garden", and and she is tired of eating mashed turnips without butter or sugar. Jennie wants the war to end so her life can go back to the way it used to be, and she is determined to make that happen soon!
