The fourth summer Underground Railroad Camp hosted by the Lawnside Historical Society will examine the network to freedom through the lens of photography.
Erik James Montgomery, noted Camden-based photographer, will teach campers to make pictures of Underground Railroad sites in Lawnside and Camden. The camp is funded by a grant from the Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
The cost for five days is $25. Students who will be in sixth through eighth grade are invited to apply. This summer’s program will run from 10 AM to 3 PM from Monday, June 23 to Friday, June 27, 2025 at Grace Temple Baptist Church, 15 E. Charleston Avenue, Lawnside, NJ.
