CHARLOTTE, N.C. (March 6, 2021) – For the first time in its 10-year history, the NASCAR Hall of Fame has launched both in-person and virtual summer camps.
From July 12 to August 6 the Hall will offer three, one-week-long day camp sessions during which campers will discover the race cars, tracks, music and art that drive the sport of NASCAR. Kids will accelerate their experience through an interactive STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading/wRiting, Engineering, Arts and Math) learning curriculum designed by award-winning Education Manager Eliza Russell and her team.
In-person camps will feature hands-on experiments, crafts and physical challenges and will give campers a chance to explore the museum before it opens to guests. The virtual offering, which is the Hall's latest addition to its online education programming, will give students from all over the country the opportunity to enjoy a live interactive summer camp experience from home. All campers will create a digital scrapbook of their adventures to share with friends and family on the final day of camp.
Families can send their children to camp at the Hall with peace of mind as the staff has implemented enhanced "We Clean With Care" protocols. This translates to rigorous measures involving sanitizing and disinfecting with increased frequency and new personal safety best practices.
Each camp registration is $250 and requires an initial payment of $50 to reserve a spot. Before/aftercare is available for in-person camps for an additional $75. More information and registration is available on the NASCAR Hall of Fame website, by clicking Plan a Visit, and then selecting Summer Camps. Space is limited. See below for themes and grade levels for each week.
