Campers bring a snack for each day
Autrey Mill's historic buildings, pavilions, heritage gardens, and Native American dwellings are the perfect setting for our Heritage Camps. Campers explore life during American history through engaging activities, games from the past, and crafts.
In 2011 we offered 4 different and exciting Heritage Summer Camp themes - different activities each week drew campers to another time in history.
June 20-24: Southern Manners and Hospitality through the Ages - There is a reason why the South is renown for the fine young ladies and gentlemen it raises – from Gone with the Wind era to present day. Join us as we review the history of Southern manners, and incorporate old traditions with new. Each day will involve a lesson, craft, game activity as well as some outdoor time visiting our buildings. Each child will learn to do-si-do to the Virginia Reel. Final class is an afternoon tea in our Historic Summerour House where children will be served tea and demonstrate their genteel table-manners. Parents are welcome to attend. Open to boys and girls.
