Hocking Hills Liberty Camp for Kids is a historical interactive day camp where we will explore a different theme each day. On Monday, our theme is “Colonial Life.” We will learn about the first settlers in the new American land and what life was like for them, see a blacksmith in action, Hands-on with yarn spinning, food of the time, The Pilgrims, the Magna Carta, and so much more.
On Tuesday, we will look at the events leading to the Revolution, such as the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere’s ride, and the Declaration of Independence.
On Wednesday and Thursday, we learn about the Revolutionary War from members of the Hocking Valley Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, and a group of re-enactors from the Brigade of the American Revolution, 8th Pennsylvania Regiment.
Wednesday & Thursday also cover the Continental Army, the militia, Marines and hand grenades, Valley Forge, uniforms, drills, and challenges our founding fathers faced.
Friday’s theme is the American View of government. We will explore our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and learn the difference between a republic and a democracy. Do you know whether the United States is a democracy or a republic? Do you know the difference and why it is important?
Saturday is Family Day at Camp. We will have a potluck picnic and present campers with their certificates and awards. Campers will have an opportunity to visit the Liberty Store. Other special presentations are planned for families to learn together. We close camp with a very special appearance of the Heritage Fifes & Drums.
