Appomattox Court House National Historical Park Offers Summer Day Camps
It's that time of year again! Appomattox Court House National Historical Park will be hosting its 13th annual Civil War summer day camps. This year there will be two different themes offered. First, the traditional Civil War day camp will be held on July 11, 14, 25, 28, and August 1 (Saturdays and Tuesdays). The second offering is a natural resource camp involving a variety of activities that teaches kids about animals and nature within the park. The natural resource camp will be offered on July 18 (Sat.) and 21 (Tues.). Both of these camps are for children from the ages of 7 to 12 years old. Arrival time of all camps is between 8:45 - 9:00 a.m. Participants will meet at the flagpole at the main Appomattox Court House NHP parking lot. All camps run from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Bring water, bag lunch, sunscreen, and walking shoes. Space is limited. There is not a fee for the children, but adults staying must pay the $4 entrance fee. To reserve a space please call Candace Hart at 434-352-8987, ext. 34 and leave a message with the date your children are attending, their ages and a phone number. Come join the fun this summer and learn a little history too.
