We will have fun learning about the history of Oregon and doing all kinds of activities, indoors and out, at the Shelton McMurphey Johnson House (Eugene’s Victorian mansion).
Camp will be led by an instructor and a teen helper and will have a max of 12 students. We provide all the fun historical games and activities; you get to take home your creations each day. Camp stays on the site of the SMJ house each day. Open to kids of all gender expressions. We provide non-gendered dress up clothing for different sizes of bodies. You may bring your own lunch and water bottle; however if you are low-income and need help with food let us know and we will provide lunch and snacks.
We are happy to talk with you about any accommodations your child may need. The house does not have an elevator and has three floors. Most of the time we will be on the ground floor of the house but if everyone is able to walk up the stairs we may visit other floors.
This camp is jointly taught by SCEC and the SMJ house.
