History Camp July 2026

Session 2: July 6-10

9am – 12pm

This day camp is designed for children ages 6 (by April 1, 2026) to 11 years old.

Dive into Mount Prospect history this summer with two unique sessions of History Camp! Historians-in-Training will explore different aspects of local history on the Historical Society campus and at various community locations through activities, walking field trips, and special guests. Each session of History Camp will combine favorite activities from past sessions with new activities that teach campers about different topics in local history. Programming varies from prior years as well, so repeat campers are welcome!

Some of the New Activities for 2026

• Learn more about the people of Mount Prospect's past, like long-time resident Bessie Friedrichs, roller derby star Sammy Skobel, firefighter Edwin Haberkamp, and others!
• Celebrate the United States' Bicentennial like kids who grew up in Mount Prospect in 1976!

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
