Hands-On History Summer Camp

Colonial Girls

The girls took a step back in time and imagined life growing up in Colonial Williamsburg.
Throughout the week, the girls worked on several crafts, played games and
presented a play to parents and friends on the last day of camp.
This camp was so popular that we added an encore week later in the summer.
Don't miss more photos from the second camp.

From mop caps to cross stitch, from the game of graces to making quilt patterns, the girls saw it all and by the time camp was over they
indeed lived as real Colonial girls.
