The committee works tirelessly to make our Encampment unique, organized and enjoyable as possible for both the reenactors and visitors. A great way to share history with the kids, grandkids AND grandparents in an exciting way. We have demonstrations, kids activities and games, challenges for adults, storytellers, music, etc. Last year we had over 70 families/camps participating.
