Post Publishes Feature on Camp Flintlock "With as much historical accuracy as modern health and safety regulations allow, 'you actually get to live in the 18th century and see how much we've changed since then.' ... Wear Colonial attire, sleep in Revolutionary War-style tents on straw pallets, cook with authentic period cookware, sew, weave, chop wood, and learn the difference between rifles and muskets. ... Campers say they go away from the experience with a whole new appreciation for modern life, while wishing that some things had never changed." Holiday

Sailing on the "Dove" Historic Saint Mary's City, Maryland |
CAMP
FLINTLOCK TO HISTORIC SAINT MARY'S CITY MARYLAND Camp Flintlock has reached an agreement with Historic Saint Mary's City in southern Maryland to hold a second campsite in the summer of 2003. Camp Flintlock will host two girls sessions and four boys sessions starting in the middle of July and terminating in August. Historic Saint Mary's City, the original capitol of the state of Maryland, is an exciting mix of colorful living history and fascinating archaeology, all set in a beautiful Tidewater landscape. Campers will participate in the same Colonial activities as in the past, plus they will get free admission to visit the museum, examine an Indian village, visit Godiah Spray's Colonial farm, get on the deck of a 17th century ship replica (the "Dove"), and visit the original State House of Maryland. |
