The Quaker Knoll Camp belongs to the Wilmington Ohio Yearly Meeting. Their website is here: http://www.wilmingtonyearlymeeting.org/

We very much appreciate the opportunity to present our program at this lovely site.

Shelley, we are interested...my fourth grader still needs to learn some Ohio history. :) We have a large homeschool group, so other folks might be interested. How do we register, and is it okay if we bring babies in strollers? Thanks! Erin

We are still accepting registrations for Thursday, May 12, however if your group is large enough to overfill for Thursday I can schedule your group and any other overflow for Wednesday, May 11. If you are interested in this option please let me know ASAP (via e-mail or comment posted here with your e-mail or other contact information so I my reach you). I will not publish your private contact information, just contact you directly.

Yes, babies with strollers are fine, but please be aware that this site is a summer camp location with very limited side walks. Some classes must be reached by walking on a gravel driveway or across the grass lawns.

If you or someone in your group has limited mobility we will try to arrange class locations accordingly.

I wanted to know more about that specific date to better prepare my kids. What time period? Any specific characters we could read about? What hand's on activities will be available? More information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The time period for the program varies with the class. but we focus mainly on early southwestern Ohio history. The interpreters dress mainly 18th century, as the common people clothing didn't change that much into the 19th century. The Quaker History session covers the widest time period. The Town Meeting only a single year, 1789.

I see a 9:30 am start time but no end time given. Can you give me some idea of when the event ends?

Thanks.

The program runs about 4 hours, elapsed time depends on how long we break for lunch. We usually break for 30-50 minutes for lunch.
