Old World Wisconsin and Old World Foundation are offering 10 scholarships for OWW's Makers Adventure Camp in 2026.

Young Makers will spend a day participating in hands-on trades as they try their hand shaping steel, working leather, weaving yarn and more, all while exploring the science and art of these living traditions. This camp makes STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) principles fun!
