Summer Camp Field Trips:

Programs offered June 10 through August 23, 2024
For Pre-K through grade 8

Milton Hershey started with a factory in a cornfield and went on to  create one of the finest industrial towns in America.  Become history detectives as we examine maps, photographs and artifacts from our collection to explore how the town of Hershey has changed over the years to become “the sweetest place on Earth.”

Plus, every camper will design and make their own “chocolate town” using milk chocolate, pretzels and marshmallows to take home and enjoy!

Summer Camp field trips also include admission to the museum and an educational scavenger hunt through the museum exhibits.  The program is geared towards 2nd – 8th grade students, but it is a fun, educational experience for students in all grades!

Cost per camper: $17
One free chaperone with every 5 campers
Additional adults: $17

The program will last about an hour and the scavenger hunt takes about 45-60 minutes, so please plan on at least 90 minutes to 2 hours for the full experience.

Space is limited; make your reservations early!
