Overview
Battles of the Civil War proves that learning history can (and should!) be fun and exciting. Campers will experience the thrill of battle and see history come to life!
Why Battles of the Civil War?
This camp is built around the concept of Experiential Learning and focuses on the tactics, leaders, and key battles of the Civil War. Campers bring these pivotal historical moments to life by reenacting them using hands-on activities like Nerf gun battles. We take the first 24 students on a first-come, first-served basis. Historical instruction covers topics and activities like:
- The Battle of Antietam
- The Battle at Gettysburg
- Advancements in Weaponry
- Nerf Gun Battles
- Battle Tactics
Camp Counselors
Camp counselors are selected for their strong characters and proven historical knowledge. They have a passion for history, and are committed to helping to spark the imaginations of younger students.
