Each Thursday in July, we provide a mini-camp from 9:00-3:00. Sign up for one ‘camp’ or all four. Campers will immerse themselves in hands-on 18th century life, uncovering the stories of the people who helped build our nation and how they can continue to be a part of America’s unfolding story. Each week campers will dress in colonial clothing, participate in games and activities, create projects and eat a colonial-inspired snack.

In addition, we offer a collaborative week-long camp with the Gundalow Company where campers spend time here at the Independence Museum and time in Portsmouth with the Gundalow Company. mini-camps for children that explore various aspects of the American Revolution and colonial life.
