This is the BEST experience for young History Lovers! My Son LOVED it!

I wish history was taught like this when I was in school! These kids are lucky!

My Kids can't wait to do this again! They are still talking about camp from two years ago!

My Daughter LOVES the hat she made at camp and still wears it!

Each day will be filled with  FUN HISTORY!
