SHS 2026 Summer Camp

Join the Shaker Historical Society and our community partners for a week of hands-on history exploration! Campers ages 8–12 will dive into geology, archaeology, textiles, conservation, architecture, and the study of historical landmarks.
The week ends with a special field trip to Cleveland’s iconic Terminal Tower and Public Square, where history comes alive in the heart of the city. No prior knowledge of Cleveland history required, just curiosity and a sense of adventure!
