The Northumberland County Historical Society will hold camp Aug. 1 to 3 at the Hunter House at the site of Fort Augusta. The theme is "Patriotism through the Ages" and Jo Ann Long and Ruth Heintzelman, camp coordinators, planned activities that focus on how citizens showed their love and respect for their country over the years. Camp hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and lunch is provided for all campers. Each day a guest presenter will visit with the campers and there will be time for crafts and other individual and group activities. The fee is $45 per child.
All campers must register in advance. Enrollment is limited to 25 campers at each location and the registration deadline is July 25. Campers are not required to attend both camps. For more information and to request a registration form, please call 286-4083.
