Step back into one of the most transformative periods in Ohio history—and experience it in a way you simply can’t anywhere else. Whether you’re 10, 30, 50, or beyond, this all-ages camp explores the events of 1800 – 1820 including the difficulties of settlement of the Ohio frontier and progress of the trades in Marietta and the Mid-Ohio Valley through hands-on activities, immersive scenarios, and expert-led classes.

Choose one session or make a full day of it—each session features different activities, so you’ll get a completely unique experience whether you’re a first-time attendee or a returning history camp fan.

The featured activities expand on last summer’s popular History Camp for 3rd- 6th graders. This experience is built for curious minds, families learning together, friend groups looking for a unique day out, and lifelong history lovers.
