Is your young son fascinated with military history? Then we have the camp for you! Welcome to Little Wars, where boys play with historically accurate, toy soldiers and engage in reenacted battles. These activities foster imaginative play and historical knowledge among the campers. Boys enjoy a blend of small group play and large-scale battles—complete with fortifications, landscapes, and artillery. Battles are reenacted indoors and out. Each camper receives a box of soldiers to take home at week’s end. Little Wars awaits... Jimmy Callahan, AP US History teacher and a graduate of the Citadel leads the camp. The afternoon session will focus on the American War for Independence (1775-1783). We briefly discuss key battles, leaders, tactics like fight in lines, marching, etc and then create our battle set ups with toy soldiers and toy guns.
