PORT TOWNSEND — Reservations are being accepted for Night at the Museum camps for children ages 5 to 11 at the Jefferson Museum of Art & History.

Among the activities offered will be the study of lizards or raptors, videos, storytelling, history hunts, art projects, study of historical characters, puppetry, history walk and singalongs.

Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Each of the five camps is $40 per child. They will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Each camp is limited to 12 children.
