Whether they are fans of the television show, Survivor, or not, children are to sure to be entertained and educated at this NEW and exciting program that challenges them to survive without the aid of modern conveniences.
Campers will visit three sites - Historic Speedwell in Morristown, Fosterfields Living Historical Farm in Morris Twp., and Cooper Mill in Chester Twp. - to learn the tricks and trades of surviving rural America in the 1840s, 1880s, and 1920s.
Whether it is farmwork at Fosterfields, working as an apprentice at the Cooper Mill, or as a day laborer at the Speedwell Ironworks, campers will be transported to a time when iPods, computers, cell phones, electricity, convenient modes of transportation, and other modern necessities were non-existent or in early stages of development.
Two sessions, divided by age groups, will give campers the opportunity to work together as teams, learn the necessary survival skills, and complete history challenges during this four day interactive camp. Can a 21st-century child 'survive' early America?
