Spots are limited, so early registration is encouraged.

Hosted at Mt. Oval Historic House and Farm, this one-week evening camp invites children ages 9–12 to step into history through interactive activities, storytelling, and immersive experiences.

A Summer Camp with a Historical Twist

Liberty Camp 250 is designed to bring early American history to life in a way that feels exciting and engaging. Instead of just reading about the past, campers experience it.

Throughout the week, participants will:

  • Meet historical reenactors portraying figures like Betsy Ross and Paul Revere
  • Take part in colonial crafts such as candle dipping and tin punching
  • Play traditional games from early America
  • Experience reenactments like the Boston Tea Party and the signing of the Declaration of Independence

These hands-on moments help kids connect with history in a meaningful and memorable way.

Make It a Full Pickaway County Experience

While campers are learning each evening, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore more of Pickaway County’s rich history during the day.

Consider adding a few stops to your visit:

  • Ohio’s Small Town Museum for a glimpse into local life through the decades
  • Ted Lewis Museum to discover the story of the famous entertainer and his connection to the area
  • Pickaway County Historical Society to dive deeper into the county’s heritage
  • A walk through downtown Circleville to take in historic architecture and local shops

Pairing Liberty Camp 250 with these experiences turns a single event into a full week of discovery for the whole family.

Evenings Filled with Learning and Fun

The camp runs Monday through Friday evenings, making it a great option for families balancing summer schedules.

Each evening includes:

  • A light meal to keep campers energized
  • Live colonial-style music with fife and drums
  • A welcoming, interactive environment led by passionate educators and volunteers
