program details

The Henry Ford offers amazing camp experiences. Discovery Camp® is our history-based camp for children going into the 2nd through 9th grade. Each level has its own theme and related crafts and activities.All camps are based in Henry Ford Academy classrooms in Henry Ford Museum® and Greenfield Village®, where campers will enjoy upgraded amenities, including air–conditioning, while still being immersed in the Museum and Village atmosphere. To ensure high-quality experiences, staff-to-camper ratio will not exceed 1:8.

Each camp runs 9am-4pm daily with extended care available before and after camp. Camp days are packed with activities, including special tours, rides and plenty of fun! An afternoon snack is provided. A Discovery Camp T-shirt will be distributed to each camper at the end of their first day of camp. The T-shirt should be worn the remainder of the week. Additional T-shirts may be purchased in advance if desired. See the registration form for details.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition

On April 15, 1912, Titanic, the world’s largest ship, sank after colliding with an iceberg, claiming more than 1,500 lives. During the 100th anniversary of the sinking, The Henry Ford will host the largest touring exhibition of Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, in Henry Ford Museum, March 31 through September 30, 2012.

This exhibition, 10,000 square feet in size, features more than 300 artifacts – 250 of which have never been displayed in Michigan. In addition, visitors will walk through extensive room re-creations, be able to get their photos taken near the full-scale replica of the Grand Staircase, as well as learn about passengers on board who had local ties to Michigan.

Moving through this newly redesigned and expanded exhibition, visitors will be taken back in time to 1912 and “travel” through the life of the Titanic—from the ship’s construction, to its on-board passengers, its ill-fated voyage, to the amazing artifact rescue efforts that involved divers returning to the sunken ship in recent years.

Contact our Call Center at 313.982.6001 to purchase your tickets today!

Start:	July 16, 2012 9:30 am
End:	July 16, 2012 5:00 pm
Venue:	The Henry Ford
