Two weeks in 2008

 
June 2-6 and June 9-13

junior docent camp!

Travellers Rest is pleased to offer our highly acclaimed Junior Docent Program!
Students will be introduced to the world of museums and discover what it is really like to be a
docent and counselor at Travellers Rest and other museums in the Nashville area.
 
This program is open to students aged 10 to 14 and runs for two weeks.
Campers will spend their first week (June 2nd-6th) studying Travellers Rest history,
the Overton family, learning public speaking techniques, visiting three other museums,
and preparing to be Junior Counselors for the younger campers during their second week (June 9th-13th). 

These future historians will learn leadership and responsibility while taking away a
deeper appreciation for museums, history and heritage resources.

*Students attending the Junior Docent program may enroll for
additional weeks of our Diggin’ History Camp at a 50% discount!

learning opportunities…

Junior Docents will have the opportunity during their first week of camp to
 visit three other museums in Nashville and whenever possible,
speak with that museum’s Curatorial, Interpretive or Educational staff.
It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the similarities and differences of
various styles of museums within our community.

junior docent brigade!

Travellers Rest has been very fortunate to have many wonderful, dedicated Junior Docents in the past.
So talented are these young historians, that we invite them on a regular basis to
participate and volunteer their services at special events during the year at Travellers Rest.
From our year-round Scouting programs to the Music Festival in June,
our Halloween program in October, or the Christmas Celebration in December.
Our doors are always open to promote the talents and interests of our young friends.
This is truly a special program for those with an interest in
history, acting, or those with a spirit of community service.

Campers will need to bring a packed lunch and drink each day.
Refrigeration is available on all days except for field trips
when a cooler will be used for lunch storage.
Snacks and water are provided. 

Extended Care
Before and after care is available for campers.
This is counselor-supervised time for campers to play,
read a book, watch movies, get crafty, and make new friends.
