The first week will center around the siteโ€™s Native American history, the second week will focus on the Revolutionary War and Colonel John Tipton, the third week will center on the Civil War and Landon Carter Haynes, and the fourth week will cover the Simerly family of the early 1900s. Each week is limited to 25 participants.
Each week, all campers will have the chance to play various games and work on various craft-based activities that relate to the weekโ€™s historic time period.
