Immersion Discovery Camp

The Newlin Grist Mill Immersion Discovery Camps offer a fun new opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a single topic. Choose a subject and spend the entire week investigating mills and the trades that built them, cooking in open-hearths and wood-fired ovens, or studying the various habitats that make up the Newlin Park.
Immersion experiences allow participants to explore a new topic each week using hands-on activities and real-life scenarios.  A great experience for kids with an  interest in the subject or just looking for hands-on fun.
