    How long have games been around? Before there were computers, televisions, cell phones and the internet, people played simple games of all kinds to pass the time, improve hunting skills and entertain themselves. Games of every description have been played for thousands of years - from ancient Persia and Middle America to the Streets of Old Milwaukee. Many of these games, like chess, backgammon, mancala, senet and even hopscotch, were common in ancient times and continue to be enjoyed today. In this Milwaukee Public Museum summer camp we explore the origins of and play! some of the world's oldest games of chance, skill and amusement. Camp is from 9:30-3:30pm for kids ages 6-8. If you need to drop your child off early or pick them up late, before care and after care is available.
