This year the park will conduct two camps, each for different grade levels. The first camp, to be held July 16-18 (Tuesday thru Thursday), will be for grades 4 - 6, and the second camp, to be held July 23-25 (Tuesday thru Thursday); will be for grades 7 - 8. The camps will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 1:00 p.m. daily. Participants will begin and end each day at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center. Lunch is not included, so campers should make arrangements for lunch after being released. Campers will have opportunities to participate in many of the same activities soldiers engaged in during the Civil War and learn about the struggles soldiers endured during the Campaign for Chattanooga 150 years ago! They will also learn the importance of battlefield preservation by participating in preservation efforts within the Park. Camp participation is limited, so be sure to register as soon as possible for our fourth annual summer day camp! The registration deadline for the camp is July 12, 2013. Please contact Christopher Young at (423) 752-5213 x117 for further information.
