U.S. Presidents, First Families and US.
July 11-14 | 9am - 12pm
Campers this year will explore what actually is the job of U S presidents, and how their powers compare to those of the US
Congress and the US Supreme Court. We will discuss which US presidents visited Lebanon and Warren County, Ohio, and
why they came. We will look at which Warren Countians were once actually considered as potential presidential candidates.
We will also find out what are some of the perks and problems of being a member of our nation’s “First Family.”
The young history buffs will be “visited” by two former “First Ladies" and a US president; tour the Golden Lamb to see which
presidents stayed there; and take a field trip to the childhood home of President William Howard Taft.
History Camp is for students entering fourth through eighth grades in the fall. The 2022 WCHS History Camp will be held from Monday, July 11 through Thursday, July 14, 2022. The camp day will begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon except on field trip day, Thursday, July 14, when camp will end around 1:00 p.m. Children will not need to bring their lunch. There will be snacks provided. If your child has a food allergy, please let us know.
History Camp is run by John Zimkus (WCHS Historian & Education Director) and Jeanne Doan (WCHS Assistant Executive Director). It was founded the camp in 1992 and is the recipient of the Ohio History Alliance's History Outreach Award.
