Camp goers will learn about the historic Conference House and view demonstrations of colonial life throughout the two weeks.  Based on knowledge gained at camp, participants –
with the guidance of the Sundog Theatre teaching artist – will write a short play about the events at the Conference House.  The last day of camp will include a culminating performance that takes the audience through moments in colonial history. Participants re-create famous events, becoming historical figures. While having fun, they also learn about the reasoning, actions, and personalities of these makers of history.
 
Colonial Kids gives 25 young people an in-depth understanding of people and events that shaped our country's history. The camp also teaches them how theatrical productions are put together, as well as helping them to explore potential careers.
