In connection with the Walnut Lane Bridge’s 100th anniversary, Cliveden (a historic-site in Germantown) will be offering a Building Bridges Summer Camp.  At the camp children will learn about Walnut Lane Bridge and its natural surroundings in the Wissahickon Valley.  The five-day camp includes daily field trips to local sites including:
