Mission

The mission of the Colonial Camp is to develop the character of Participants in a historically accurate context.

Strength, hard work, integrity, discipline, consideration of others -- these are the traits that made America great and created a land of opportunity.

Graydon Stephenson
Camp Director

The Colonial Camp has been in operation since 2002, bringing authentic, hands-on Colonial-American history to schools, scouts, historic sites, museums, and other organizations. The Colonial Camp operates at various sites on the east coast. We can also bring our Programs to your campus.

The Colonial Camp is directed by Graydon Stephenson.

Graydon received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from North Carolina State University, and a Master of Arts in Ancient Near Eastern History from Harding University. His wife of over 25 years, Laura, has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from North Carolina State University. Graydon and Laura have three children: Daniel, David, and Jasrah. The entire family is actively involved in the Colonial Camp and avid students of Colonial history.

The most exciting thing about this Program is the changed lives of the campers. Through the principles taught, campers learn to appreciate the efforts of the early pioneers, and how to put those principles into practice when they return into their family homes, at school, in the community, and in their hearts.

Huzzah for the Colonial Camp!
