New Castle History Camp

Travel through history at the FREE New Castle History Camp from July 25 to 29, 2022 in New Castle, Delaware. Discover how Native Americans used the land, explore colonial kitchen gardens, and weigh in as a juror on the momentous Thomas Garrett trial. At the end of each day campers will test their skills as historians by researching and designing a creative group project that will be presented to friends and family at the New Castle Public Library.

Campers must be dropped off no earlier than 8:30 a.m. at the New Castle Court House Museum, 211 Delaware St., and picked up no later than 12:30 p.m. from the New Castle Public Library, 424 Delaware St. In addition to those locations, activities will be held at the First State National Historical Park, New Castle Green, New Castle Historical Society, and Read House.

Open to children ages 10-13, the New Castle History Camp is limited to the first 25 participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration closes June 30, 2022 at midnight or when there are no longer any openings, whichever happens first.
