Congo Camp 2010

One of the many sites our campers will see today!

Our Colonial Kids will be finishing up their week before they return at a trek through Jamestown and Yorktown settlements. 

From what we have heard, these campers have been enjoying their various travels through time and the sites they have seen in Williamsburg.

We hope they have fun on their last day in Williamsburg and have a safe journey back!

Some of the re-enactors our campers will see.

We hope they have been having fun on their various tours and enjoy their second night of their overnight!

One of the many historical sites our Colonial Kids will be seeing.

Our Colonial Kids campers arrived at the midpoint of the week by preparing to head out on their journey back to colonial times.

Today, the Colonial Kids head down to Williamsburg, VA to experience first-hand what it was like during the early times of the United States. 

Each of the campers was excited to be heading down to Williamsburg to learn more about our history.

We hope they have fun during their overnight and we can't wait to hear all of their stories when they return!

One of our Colonial Kids camper's candles.

When we think of colonial times, we remember how our forefathers and foremothers lacked home electricity.  So, of course, the campers had to make candles.

The campers had fun making these candles from pieces of honeycomb-style wax.  Our campers' candles were excellent and they will definitely keep our campers' houses well-lit if the lights ever go out. 

As the session continues, these campers will get to enjoy a wonderful overnight trip to Colonial Williamsburg.  We hope they have fun as they make their way down there tomorrow!

Our Colonial Kids making their medicine pouches.

This session, one of our camps will be taking our Congo Campers back to George Washington's time.  The Colonial Kids will be learning about Colonial times during the beginning of the week and then will take a trek to Williamsburg to enhance their knowledge!

Our Colonial Kids started off this session by making Medicine Pouches.  These pouches were hand stitched to completion. 

The campers started the pouches by threading the leather strings through the holes to connect the pouches; once these were connected, the pouches came together quickly.

These campers are already excited to take their trip, but we know that they are ready to learn as much as possible before heading off on Wednesday!
