AngelWorks to send kids to Wonder Camps

Wonderful things are happening in the college town of Stillwater, Oklahoma, where visionary volunteers and a small paid staff are crafting a children's museum that once built could rival the nationally-reknowned Exploratorium in San Francisco. You can see drawings of the master plan at the museum's website, http://www.stillwaterchildrensmuseum.org/. What is further remarkable is the museum's strategy of not waiting for the bricks and mortor to begin the work of meeting the mission of stirring curiosity in children. The Stillwater Children's Museum began offering programming in 2006 under the moniker, Museum Without Walls. One such program is an up-coming series of Summer Wonder Camps, discovery-based camps that the museum is sponsoring in partnership with Oklahoma State University. In the same spirit that the Explore Kids program was created in Wichita, AngelWorks is pleased to provide scholarships for eight children from low-income families to attend the Stillwater Children's Museum's Wonder Camps.
