Five Yesterdays is a one-of-a-kind learning program for rising third through eighth graders.
This program offers one-week, hands-on summer sessions which concentrate on the crafts, trades and lifestyles of the Moravians who lived in Salem in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Children will learn history while strengthening their listening, critical thinking, and social skills. Activities are carefully planned according to age and ability, ensuring that every child benefits from the program. Activities are different each year and for each grade level.
The 5 Yesterdays traditional program meets from 9 AM - Noon, Monday through Friday for a period of one week. Activities include working with textiles, pottery, hearth cooking, and other early American skills and trades. The week culminates with a Lovefeast at Home Moravian Church each Friday.
