Arrowhead Day Camp A Success!

Arrowhead Day Camp 2011 was a great success. Thanks to all the parents and campers who participated! We are already planning Arrowhead Day Camp 2012 and look forward to an even bigger and better camp! See the gallery below for the highlights!

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 dressed in uniform, performed marching drills, and created flags. As hands-on scientists, they pulled on their rubber boots to perform biological water tests in the stream and learned about archaeology in the trenches.
