The start of the summer season is officially here and for many parents that means battling summertime boredom. Beat the “I’m bored” blues with a Summer Playcation at Hands-on House Children’s Museum of Lancaster with daily drop-in programs, seasonal memberships and day camp offerings.
Hands-on House features self-directed exhibits that are designed for adults and children to play and learn together. Families can explore the interactive exhibits, enjoy the outdoor Play Garden with Extra Play Every Day drop-in activities and meet friends during Summertime Station Summer Camp.
“Children learn best through play,” explained Lynne Morrison, Hands-on House Museum Director. “Because of this we’ve designed all of our exhibits and classes to let the imagination lead. Families are able to have fun together while promoting development, cognitive thinking and problem solving skills.”
Plan a Summer Playcation at Hands-on House with these seasonal offerings:
A Family Summer Membership is the best way to get more play this summer with unlimited admission from May 27 through August 31, 2014 for just $50 per family. The membership provides access to all the exhibits, outdoor Play Garden, Extra Play Every Day daily drop-in classes and special Member Morning hours.
These outdoor drop-in programs are sure to keep the boredom blues at bay. Families can connect with nature, get moving, learn new skills and play together and have fun! Participation is free with regular admission to Hands-on House and is included with summer or annual family memberships. All programs are hands-on and explore different elements of science, art, math and imagination.
This interactive day camp was designed especially for 4-7 year olds. Campers explore, create and use their imagination as they have fun making new friends and learning about the world around them. All activities take place in and around Hands-on House both indoors and outdoors. Daily sessions are from 9 am-12 pm, Monday through Friday.
