Colonial Days: During the Colonial Days Camp, the girls will be transported back in time to 1607 – 1776 during the formation of the colonies into a “United” nation. Girls will dress up daily in pantaloons, a cotton calico Colonial dress and mob cap. We will discuss famous Colonists such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Pocahontus, Squanto, Chief Powhatan, Molly Pitcher, Mother Goose and more.
