If you want to learn about the Revolunary War this is the activity for you !!!
I did not go to the campsite, they came to my childs school. It was a great program. Awsome !!
Dressed in time period clothes, the people that came were nice, informative, and very polite. When working with kids that is not always easy, but they handled it with ease. Kept the kids interested, lots of fun things to do that were even interesting to me. They kept it at a level that was just right, the music was fantastic for beginning to end. These fouth graders had a blast and were kept entertained the whole time.
My favorite however was the candle making, tho i did learn something at every station as i am sure every child did also, it was the candle making that was my favorite. The children were able to take home the candles, and many other items they made through out the day while the learned that lesson. Which included candle making, necklace making, rope braiding, old time games, dancing, quill and ink writing, and dress up(both boys and girls) There was a total of about 7 stations all together not including the begining and the end. They do offer a gift shop for all price ranges most not over ten dollars. I figured this went to support their program. The ending they shot two cannons and had pop quizes with prizes for the kids. Both the beginning and end children were able to hear the fife and drum, coming and leaving. I was happy with the whole experience.
If you get a chance, really do check them out.
