SCARSDALE, N.Y. -- The Weinberg Nature Center in Scarsdale introduced its Native American Exhibit to summer campers in July, including a look at the Lenape, who once inhabited the area now known as Westchester County.
Staff introduced campers to various types of knives, arrowheads, dugout canoe gougers, a spear, hunting set, bow and arrows, a mortar and pestle of the tribe that flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries. Campers learned what life was like for the Lenape -- whose territory extended south into Delaware -- in the center’s Native American Village, featuring a wigwam, fire pit, dugout canoe, a stretch rack and tripod for smoking skins.
The Weinberg Nature Center, 455 Mamaroneck Rd., Scarsdale, offers seasonal programs for children ranging in age from 4.5 to 10 years old.
The center’s Summer Camp will run from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 17-21 and Aug. 24-28. Campers will explore new topics every day, including nature hikes, live animals, and experiments and games, to name a few. Cost for the camp is $360 for one week, $675 for both weeks.
