History Summer Camps
For over fifteen years, the Cumberland County Historical Society has offered students the opportunity to immerse themselves in hands-on experiences through the Adventures in History Summer Camps.
Two camps are held each summer. Our Elementary camp Adventures in History is for students who are entering 4th, 5th, or 6th grades. The Advanced camp Advanced Adventures in History is for students entering 7th, 8th, or 9th grades.
Camps are on a three-year rotation, so no camper will ever have the same camp twice. Camp themes follow a chronology.
