Park Completes "Critter Camp" Partnership On Tuesdays through Fridays, from June through early August 2006, the staff at Ulysses S. Grant NHS worked with a daily dose of "Critter Campers" from neighboring Grant's Farm. Children, ranging from ages 5-10, attended the camp for four consecutive days, and each day were offered a different segment when they crossed the street to visit the historic site. These activities included a taste of 19th century schooling, a look at farm tools and interactive period games, a house tour, and a unit on the National Park Service. Each day the flood of around 50 kids would arrive at 12:30 p.m., and a busy half hour would ensue. Though it was indeed a whirlwind of activity, the kids were great to work with, and the park staff enjoyed the opportunity to work with them and the Grant's Farm group leaders. |
