SHARONVILLE, OH (FOX19) - The Heritage Village Museum is hosting three weeks of Summer Day Camp for the 2013. These camps are a perfect blend of education and fun. Camp will keep your children active over the summer as well as learning a little about history.

The things they learn here are about the daily lives of the people who lived in Ohio before us, and experiencing it will leave a much deeper impression upon them than reading about these people in a textbook.

Civil War Camp June 17th-21st and July 22nd-26th: Campers will see what life was like as a child in Southwest Ohio during the Civil War. Activities and educational opportunities abound as campers participate in daily activities from the 1860’s time period such as making hardtack, paper art and learning secret codes.
