Enchanting and educational day camps at museum

Pirates, princesses and Harry Potter are just some of the themes children will experience during the upcoming Queens County Museum day camps.

“We have a series of four day camps,” said museum interpreter Britney Wentzell. “The first day camp is a series of enchantment days and the second is a series of cultural days.”

Enchantment days include a pirate princess party, Harry Potter day, medieval day and a Robin Hood day.

The Cultural day camps will “teach the kids a little bit about different cultures and we will give them interesting snacks and we’ll teach them different crafts,” explained Wentzell.

She plans to have a Mexican party, an Italian/Roman day, Egyptian history and an oriental day.

“I think it’s good for the kids to get out of the house for a little in the summer,” she added.

Children aged five to ten can sign up for the day camps.

The enchantment day camps run July 2 to 23, Wednesdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Cultural Days kick off July 30 to August 20, Wednesdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Cost is $7 for one day camp.

For a child to attend the four enchantment day camps it will cost $25.

All four cultural day camps will cost $25 as well.

Parents should put sunscreen on children attending the day camps, as they do go outdoors, noted Wentzell.
