Education > Summer History Camps
Thank you for your interest in our Summer History Day Camps and welcome to the camp application process. This booklet is intended to help in the application process, answer any questions that you may have about camp, and inform you of important camp dates and deadlines. Keep this booklet handy, for you may need to refer to it from time to time.
We are pleased to offer two camps this summer:
Session 1 (American Revolution): July 9-20, 2007
Session 2 (Civil War): July 30-August 10, 2007
Many exciting activities are planned that will capture and inspire your campers. They include trips to Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Washington's Crossing, arts & crafts, colonial games and our camp play
Here at Camp FFVF, our goal is that every camper has an opportunity to see history outside the classroom in a new and unique way.
Please review the attached information and return the camp application with the deposit to reserve your child’s spot. Please remember that space is limited and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding Camp FFVF. I can be reached at (610) 933-8825 ext. 221, or email me at
