Students have an
opportunity to drill and march as Revolutionary soldiers did; throw
'hawks (tomahawks); play games of the
period and many hands-on history activities.
Re-enactors demonstrate
the use of colonials' weapons and survival skills. Students arrive
by school buses to Camp Bob Cooper for their "day",
before
8:50 AM and depart by 1:30 PM in
order to maintain their bus schedules.
The students have lunch in the
Camp Bob Cooper cafeteria.
Camp
Bob Cooper will need $12 per student
for the lunch and the day’s experience.
