Summer Military History CAMP Aug. 3-7 & 10-14 2015 Sponsored by the Jefferson County Historical Society Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, WA After five highly successful years, the J.C.H.S. is again offering its “Join the Regiment” History Camp. Open to all boys and girls, 8 - 12 years old. We are centered at Fort Worden and the Commanding Officer’s Quarters Museum. The camp will focus on the military and social history of Puget Sound and provide a “soft” version of what life was like in the Army at the turn of the 20th century. The program will provide lots of physical activities as well as craft and skill enhancing projects in a fun and educational atmosphere. This year we will offer a number of oceanside activities such as a “Beach Scavenger Hunt” and a “Beach Hut Building Contest”. The J.C.H.S. History Camp will take place daily for 5 1/2 hours. The hours are: 11:00 am to 4:30 pm. The campers will need a light jacket or sweater, a backpack, comfortable walking shoes and a sack lunch every day. A sack lunch is not needed on Thursday when lunch will be provided. And . . . except for Wednesdays when we will have our field trip to Fort Casey. Parents will need to drop their campers off at the Port Townsend/Coupeville Ferry Dock by 9:30 am, and pick up their campers at 5:00 pm. Families may sign up for one or both sessions.
