Summer Learning Clubs: Ancient Civilizations: Roots of the Modern World (Grades 1-2)
This is a two-day program that takes place on August 17 & 18. One ticket per attendee covers both days.
Class Details
What if you discovered that your favorite foods and traditions actually started in a marketplace thousands of years ago? Explore the daily lives of ancient cultures through hands-on projects, from decoding Egyptian hieroglyphics to recreating the bustling marketplaces of the Silk Road. By crafting traditional ancient myths, you'll discover how the food, art, and beliefs of the past still influence us today.
Important Information about Summer Learning Clubs
Sessions are grouped by grade levels: Grades 1-2 and Grades 3-5, with the grade level determined by the grade the student is entering in Fall 2026. Students entering Grades 6-8 are invited to join our SLC Pro Series.
Because we are able to admit a limited number of students, you will be charged a deposit of $25 upon registration. Your deposit will be refunded less credit card processing fees upon attendance at both days of class or notification of inability to attend sent to [email protected] or 203-291-4810 by 9 am on Monday, August 10.
The Summer Learning Clubs are made possible by the continuing generosity of Roz and Bud Siegel.
