FULL DAY/9am-3pm CAMP DESCRIPTIONS
*World War II Camp* A salute to the brave and brilliant soldiers of WWII and The Greatest Generation. Learn about and recreate ingenious inventions and creative tactics that helped the Allies gain victory, as well as an appreciation for the era. Campers will experience lots of fun with "Physical Training", troop movements and tactics, water balloon battles, communication methods, games and final missions! At WWII camp, kids will learn about what it was like to be a kid during this time, as well as America’s role in the war. Kids had to step up to help their families and communities, so campers will get a glimpse of what it was like to work and play as a child during WWII. We will go over the history of the war and specific battles, but less about the dates and more about the big picture. We will learn everything from Victory gardens back home, to Island hopping overseas. And, we will have our very own reenactments of various WWII missions, complete with water balloons!
*Mountain Man Survival Skills Camp* Experience life in the "wild"! Tracking, trapping, camouflage, leather-work, and basic woodworking using period tools and techniques. Of course we'll have contests, play games and get dirty too! Stories, adventures and more. Survival Skill themed camps may include; fishing, trapping, handmade tools, shelters, fire starting, forging, cordage, communication skills, use of natural materials and of course optional pocket knife skills! Mountain Man camp, our original camp theme, embodies the true spirit of Huck Finn! Not only will campers learn survival skills, hunting, gathering, gardening, etc., they will learn about the contributions mountain men and women made towards shaping our country. We will learn about their interactions with Native Americans, and how those interactions influenced our country's Westward expansion. We will go over the railroad, the development of maps, direction, and road ways. Kids will learn about how men and women lived without all of these advances, as well as how we began to develop them during this time period.
*Viking Camp* Viking children were highly skilled at an early age. They were taught to hunt, build, navigate, survive, and thrive as functioning members of their community. We won't be conquering neighboring camps or communities, but we will definitely have a great time exploring Camp Sewee! (HIGHLIGHTS: basic woodworking and metal work, leather work, jewelry making, face painting, games, water balloon battles, tools, period exploration and navigation skills, optional: fishing, wrestling.) Viking camp includes every aspect of our program from woodworking and blacksmithing, to fishing and gardening. Kids will learn about how Vikings were incredible navigators and explorers, and what their discoveries contributed to our means of transportation and navigation today. They were also expert farmers and fishermen, so kids will get to learn about and practice these skills hands on, to their appropriate skill level. Vikings were also incredible artists, so from drawing to leatherwork, campers will get to express their own art skills on their projects. AND, what would a week of Viking camp be without a few Viking (water balloon) battles!
*Sparta! Camp* In ancient Sparta, both boys and girls were taught to be self-sufficient, to hunt and survive beginning at age 7. Spartans are still considered the greatest warriors that ever lived. Although we won't be creating warriors, wouldn't it be fun to play like a Spartan for a week?!! (HIGHLIGHTS: Basic woodworking and metal work, water balloon battles, military formations, games and optional fishing and wrestling.) At Sparta camp, kids will get a glimpse of what it was like to grow up as a child in Spartan culture. We will go over the history of Sparta, including how the cradle of democracy was saved by the Spartans at Thermopylae. We will have the campers not only learn the story and battle tactics, but they will get to reenact a live action (water balloon) version of this battle! We will go over how advanced they were for their own time, and the contributions Spartans have made to the modern world.
*Ultimate Surviavl Skills Camp* (IYKYK!) This camp is a compilation of all of our Survival Skills Camps, where campers will be challenged to survive the "Zombie Apocolypse" ! (Highlights: team-building, woodworking projects, games, water balloon battles, communication skills, optional: wrestling, fishing). Zombie camp is a true test of survival! This will be a week long series of survival skills and tests to get campers ready for the apocalypse. Kids will learn everything from building a shelter, to first aid, to hunting and gathering. All of this will lead up to our big mission on Friday- a full day of zombie tag, to find the last man standing!
