Arrowhead Day Camp Coming This Summer!

Reservations are being accepted for kids age 7-12 who are interested in being part of a three day camp at Petersburg National Battlefield. The 1st Annual Arrowhead Day Camp will be held on the following dates:

Camp #1: June 30 - July 2

Camp #2: July 20 - 22

Camp #3: August 10 - 12

All camps will be held from 9:00 - 1:30 p.m.

Arrowhead Day Camp allows children to take a step back in time to learn about the life of a Civil War soldier. As soldiers, kids will dress in uniform, perform marching drills, and create flags. As hands-on scientists, they will pull on their rubber boots to perform biological water tests in the stream and learn about archaeology in the trenches.

The fee for the camp is $15 per child and each session will consist of a maximum of twenty five participants. For reservations and further information about "Arrowhead Day Camp", please contact Petersburg National Battlefield at (804) 732-3531 ext. 204.
