Camp Flintlock - Boy's Overnight
The original Camp Flintlock program, our Residential Summer Camps teach children ages 9-15 about life in the American Colonies. At our Four Oaks campsite, campers learn about our nation’s history, as well as outdoor skills like cooking over a fire! Campers gain a “better grasp of American History and a lot more respect for their hardworking ancestors.” And our campers have a lot of fun, too! Popular activities include Colonial Games, Tomahawk Throw, and Capture the Flag. Campers also make crafts and perform in a talent show. With no access to the internet and social media, campers even learn to enjoy the timeless art of letter-writing. Mail call is a favorite part of every day!
Campers' day starts early with chores of splitting wood and hauling water to the kitchen while some assist with the preparation of breakfast over a fire. The rest of the day revolves around lunch and supper with blocks of activities, chores, and free time. After supper is showers with tap cold water. At night we hit the hay, literally. Campers' accommodations are 18th century style tents with straw filled mattresses. Tents hold from 2 to 8 campers. The double occupancy and single occupancy tents are reserved for returning campers.
