Students of Dunmore Elementary Center’s first summer camp got to Explore the History of NEPA over a two-week period.
These students learned about Pennsylvania history and facts, engaged in a scavenger hunt of monuments and architecture of Scranton’s Courthouse Square, visited the Steamtown National Historic Site, explored the Electric City Trolley Museum with an excursion to PNC Field, traveled down 300 feet below ground to the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, toured the Everhart Museum, bowled at South Side Lanes, and ate ice cream at Manning’s Farm in Dalton.
This camp was in partnership with a grant from the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Association. Students entering 4th-6th grades were able to apply to the camp. This is the fourth year Dunmore Elementary Center was able to host this program.
The Lackawanna County Electric City Trolley Station & Museum recently recognized the winners and schools who participated in its “Trim A Tree” Challenge. Students from area districts were involved in the decorating competition.
