Join us at the Marathon County Historical Society with our new Kids History Camp!
This summer’s camp, From Forest to City: How Wausau Grew Up, invites young history explorers to discover how Wausau grew from forest land along the river into the city we know today.
Throughout this four-day camp, camper will explore local history through hands-on activities, stories, creative projects, movement, and guided discovery. Along the way, they will learn about the forests, river, logging industry, early community life, and the changes that helped shape Wausau over time.
Campers will be divided into age-based groups, with activities adapted for each group. Younger campers will focus on exploration, creativity, play, and curiosity, while older campers will be encouraged to think more deeply about change over time, community growth, and how historians use clues from the past.
Registration is now live and space is limited to 20 campers. Registration will be available on the Marathon County Historical Society TicketSource website. We can’t wait to welcome campers for a fun, active, and meaningful week of local history!
