My best freind just returned from SW Nebraska, her home town. She has posed the following question to me.
"I have a question for you: do you know of any summer camps (for next year) for teenagers with a focus on reinactments? A friend knows of a kid with an interest in the Civil War."
On one hand the reenactments themselves are "camps", but I think this means longer than a week and for youth. Any suggestions or advice?
I recall that one is held in Richmond, VA. It was only an overnight thing. Although with the current economic cut backs I don't know if they are still doing that.
I tried to start one up with the local boy scouts but our town was not willing to help us out with funding or support. I had space at a local boy scout camp lined up but needed financial help with some gear. It never panned out. It would have been a 3 day weekend event.
This is a bit tardy, but I don't visit here often. Here is a link to Pamplin Park's summer camps. They are not for teenagers per se, but accept anyone age eight and older:
