"Earthworks" Summer Camp Begins in July

Recruitment has begun for the 2008 Earthworks summer camp. The program, for children 6-12 years of age, will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning on July 17 and ending August 7. From 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. children will take a step back in time to learn about the life of a Civil War soldier.

Earthworks offers a hands-on approach to science and history as participants sign enlistment papers and prepare themselves for an outdoor adventure.

The fee for "Earthworks" is only $5 per child and each four hour session will consist of a maximum of fifteen participants.

For reservations and further information about the "Earthworks" schedule, please contact Petersburg National Battlefield at (804) 732-3531 ext. 200.
