“A Week at the Games”

The Mount Prospect Historical Society is pleased to be offering its 2nd virtual Summer History Camp – History of the Olympics: both ancient and modern – July 27-31, 2020.  

This on-line, interactive, and hands-on History Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and features activities, projects and virtual field trips. We welcome Campers ages 7 (as of April 1, 2020) to 12. 

Olympics campers will receive access to an exclusive website created just for on-line history Campers, daily Zoom sessions with the Camp Director, the book Hour of the Olympics by Mary Pope Osborne, materials for all projects and a participation medal.  Camp supplies will be picked up by each camper (non-contact) at the Society (101 S. Maple St., Mount Prospect) the week before camp starts.  Bags labeled with each camper’s name will be in the breezeway between the Dolores Haugh Education Center and the Carriage House.  

Cost is $50 per camper.  Space is limited to 10 Campers, so register today so you don’t miss out on this fun opportunity!  Reservations may be made through the Society’s website on our on-line registration form or by calling the Society at 847-392-9006.

The 1920’s are saturated with surprise, sequins, and murder! A fun and funny flap-per named Flora tells us how fashion, crime, and prohibition mixed with explosive creativity shaped the decade of the century. You will learn fact from fiction and how reality relates to the 2002 Oscar-winning film Chicago. This interactive and highly engaging program is a front row seat for the compelling stories of Chicago in the 1920’s. Travel back in time and let Flora the flapper educate and entertain you.
