How Can I Encourage My Child to Try a New Activity? Get inspired to add new kids’ activities to your family’s routine with these tips and best practices.

Summer Camp Destination: The Banfille Locke Center for Arts! Fun Fact: In 1847, the John Banfill Wayside Inn was erected as a stop for soldiers and fur traders who traveled the course of the Red River Trail. The inn was about a one day journey to the city and was thus a logical stop for travelers.
In 1857, the Banfills sold the property which passed through several hands until 1912, when the Locke Family purchased the land and building for use as a dairy farm and eventually as their summer home.
This well-conserved sample of Greek Revival is listed on the National Registry of Historic Sites.
From 1988 to 2021, the Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts has operated out of the historic Banfill-Locke House.

Summer Camp Arts n Crafts: Clay sculptures - inspired by the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden…kinda 😆

Summer Camp Destination: Minneapolis Sculpture Garden! Fun Fact: The sculpture garden dates back to 1913. The land was a floral garden for over 50 years. It’s also been a football stadium and an outdoor concert venue. Simon and Garfunkel was the last big name act to play at the stadium, in 1983.
Eventually, the Walker Art Museum paid the $1 million to demolish the stadium and in 1988 the Sculpture Garden became a reality! It’s sculptures were largely the same until it’s current redesign in 2017!

Summer Camp Destination: Bakken Science Museum! Fun fact - The Bakken Science Museum has changed owners over the years. It’s longest resident is rumored to be the ghost of a caretaker who sticks to what is now an administrative office!

Camp Destination: Mississippi Gateway Park Nature Center!
What a great time learning about history and nature!
Fun Fact: At a total length of approximately 2,150 feet, the C**n Rapids Dam is only 490 feet short of 1/2 mile. Construction workers used over 42,000 cubic yards of concrete and over 800 carloads of crushed rock to make the dam in 1913!
