Genealogy Camp: Finding Your Roots

New: Genealogy: Finding Your Roots

This camp is designed to get campers up close and personal with their own DNA so they can explore the questions of where they come from and what makes them who they are. Campers will learn how to investigate their family history, including births, deaths, traditions, marriages, and movements from place to place. Campers will learn that genes are like instructions that turn on commands that make traits show up. This camp will help children to understand how to be creative while learning about DNA and family genetic history. Campers will also gain an understanding of how DNA impacts hair, skin, and eye color. Campers may also learn how to conduct research through United States Census records and other archives. Sample DNA from saliva is needed for participation in this camp. Testing must be done by May 15 to allow time for results to be returned prior to the start of camp.  

  • Ages: 10 to 15
  • Dates: Monday, July 24 - Thursday, July 27, 2023
  • Time: 9:00 a. m. - 12:30 p. m.
  • Cost: $149 + $99 DNA test kit materials fee = $248
  • Register: Genealogy Camp
