History comes to life!

Starting July 26th, the theme of the week at Kids Can is history. For many, it may seem like a strange theme since most of us associate learning about history with the classroom - certainly not something most kids want to do on summer vacation! But history isn't just a classroom activity; far from it, in fact! Our kids will be visiting everything from exciting historical sites like John Brown's Cave to Lincoln's Nebraska History Museum and Omaha's own Durham Museum. There they will experience history the way kids learn best - as a hands-on learning experience. Learning about history is important for kids. As many scholars say, it provides us with identity, models for good citizenship and leadership, but most importantly, it can be fun! Want to know how to make history even more fun for your kids?
