The Racine Public Library, Racine Heritage Museum and RAM's Wustum Museum are once again hosting Racine's History Mystery Creative Writing, History and Art Camp, a unique summer camp opportunity for youth ages 9-13. From July 20-24, young writers will be inspired by local artifacts and lore, learning the myths that surround them and the clues that will tell the real story. Camp "detectives" will investigate murders, mysteries, crime scenes and the art of forensics through their writing. Each participant will create a written and illustrated short story that details it all and solves the final question…Who Dunnit?!
Working with archivists, librarians, artists, and museum/library staff adventurers will explore the Racine Heritage Museum, the Racine Public Library, and RAM's Wustum Museum. Each day will include exploration of the book writing and making process, games, fun activities, and other great adventures.
Campers will be spending each day from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at a different venue with the following schedule:
