Subject: [TNCAMPBE-L] Summer History Camp at ETHS-- Dig your roots. Plant a seed.
Date: Fri, 31 May 2002 09:53:52 -0400

Do you have a child interested in family history? Would you like to
encourage a child in your family to explore his or her heritage? You can
help nurture the budding family historian in your family at this year's East
Tennessee Historical Society History Camp. The camp will be held July 8-11,
2002, at the East Tennessee History Center in downtown Knoxville.

At the camp, kids will enjoy learning methods to research their family tree,
such as talking to older relatives, using original records, visiting
cemeteries and libraries, and touring history museums. Each child
participant is invited to bring along an adult family member to help them
“dig their roots.”

The ETHS Family Tree Camp provides families with an activity they can do
together not just during the camp, but for years to come. Part of the fun of
genealogy is the interaction between generations as young people interview
older relatives and hear the stories and events that have become part of a
family’s history. Help us plant the seeds of historic interest in tomorrow's
generation.

For more information about this year's camp and how you and a child in your
family can participate together, visit the ETHS web site at

Sincerely,
