About

This camp teaches children what life was like in the 18th century, when colonists were on the cusp of war. Through immersive hands-on activities, children learn about colonial life, maritime practices, and the challenges of war. Campers will play colonial games, explore historic trades, learn from real historical objects, and even design and test their own model ships. It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity to walk in the footsteps of George Washington at both museum sites while exploring the lives of Revolutionary soldiers, sailors and civilians.

For campers ages 8-12.

Cost: $175.00 per camper, plus processing fees. Advance registration and payment required, as camp space is limited. Registration deadline is 4 p.m., Monday, July 1st.
