History Summer Camps

For over fifteen years, the Cumberland County Historical Society (CCHS)  has offered students the opportunity to involve themselves in hands­on experiences through the adventures in History Summer Camps.

Adventures in History

Come and explore the role of European colonists (Ö³ÃñÕß)  in early settlement and the American Revolution. Campers will explore the challenges of colonial life through baking homemade bread, starting a fire, and making paper. A large selection of period clothing will provide the opportunity for all campers to suit up as frontier folk, tradespeople, politicians, farmers, and soldiers. Children entering 4th, 5th, or 6th grade may attend.

Time: 9 a. m. to 12 p. m. ; June 13th through June 17th or June 20th through June 24th

Price: CCHS member/$105 per camper; non­member/$165 per camper

Advanced Adventures in History

Beginning with the age of soda shops and Elvis Presley, this camp will explore life in the 50s and 60s.  Start by getting dressed in a “poodle skirt” or having your hair smoothed into a ducktail and finish in the ultra­modern clothes of the 1960s. Come and have a good time with cowboy shoot­outs,  and rocket launches.  Students entering 7th, 8th, or 9th grade are welcome to join us.

Time: 9 a. m.  to 12 p. m. ; July 11th through July 15th

Price: CCHS member/$105 per camper; non­member/$165 per camper
