Unravel the layers of ancient Egypt—from myth to modern interpretations. In this storytelling-focused camp, campers will explore the lore, symbols, and creative traditions that shaped ancient Egyptian culture with historian Parker Hilley. They will learn about the essential role of scribes, experiment with early forms of visual storytelling, and discover how these enduring myths continue to shape the ways we imagine and interpret ancient Egypt today. Throughout the week, campers will learn to read hieroglyphs, make faux-papyrus paper, and create ink from natural materials!
