Children will take a step back in time to learn about the life of a Civil War soldier at Petersburg National Battlefield’s upcoming 1st Annual Arrowhead Day Camp. The program is designed for children 7 to 12 years of age and three sessions will be held.

Sessions will be held on the following dates:
Camp #1 – Jun 30 – Jul 3
Camp #2 – Jul 20 – 22
Camp #3 – Aug 10 – 12

All camps will be held from 9 AM to 1:30 PM.

The Camp offers a hands-on approach to science and history as participants sign enlistment papers and prepare themselves for an outdoor adventure. As soldiers, kids will dress in uniform, perform marching drills, and create flags. As scientists, they will pull on their rubber boots to perform biological water tests in the stream and learn about archeology in the trenches. There will also be plenty of hands-on crafts and projects.

The fee for Arrowhead Day Camp is only $15 per child and each session will be limited to a maximum of 25 participants. For reservations and additional information about the camp schedule, contact Leslie M. McClammy at the Petersburg National Battlefield at (804) 733-3531, Ext. 204.
