Architecture Detective Summer Camp
  • Architecture Detectives Summer Camp

  • Join us for an engaging day camp at the Johnston-Felton-Hay House, designed for children ages 9-12 who have a curiosity about history and preservation! This camp will be offered twice this year: June 8-12 and June 22-26. Campers will explore Macon’s architectural heritage, learning about different styles and the significance of preserving historical structures.

    Highlights of the camp include:

    • A van tour with Visit Macon, tracing the area’s history from its earliest settlements at the site of what is now Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park.
    • Hands-on learning about architectural and painting finishes.
    • A creative experience at Historic Macon's Second Street workshop, where campers will discover and design their own projects.

    By the end of the week, participants will have a deeper appreciation for how the past shapes our present and why it’s essential to preserve it for future generations.
