Old Berwick Historical Society
This May, OBHS is inviting students currently in 7th and 8th grade who reside in the Marshwood School District to apply for a free scholarship Summer Camp experience from June 21-25. The camp will be led by Caitlin Bishop, who will graduate UNH this spring with a degree in secondary education with a focus in history. Caitlin is currently a substitute teacher for middle and high school grades.
The focus this summer will be for students to become familiar with one of our collections, and work to put together an exhibit at the South Berwick Library. They will spend time at the Counting House Museum, as well as some short field trips to view local sites and houses. We will be limiting the number of students accepted to the program to three, due to carpooling constraints. All participants will be required to wear masks as needed. Camp typically runs within a 9am-3pm schedule, beginning and ending at the Counting House Museum. A detailed program will be sent out the week before camp begins.
Application Deadline is May 31st. Applicants will be notified by June 4th. Please email
director@oldberwick.org with any questions.
