Plimoth Patuxet Summer Camp: A Taste of History (Ages 8-12)

A Taste of History: Food and Foodways in Plimoth and Patuxet (Ages 8-12)

From growing and harvesting to processing and preserving, food takes center stage this week! Your camper will learn the importance of foodways for the people Plimoth Colony and the Wampanoag people and the skills required to bring food from the garden to the table in the 17th century. Campers learn new skills along the way as they explore our living history sites and put everything together for a special final presentation! Pre-registration is required for Plimoth Patuxet Summer Camps. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.

Plimoth Patuxet Summer Camps strives to provide campers with fun, hands-on, immersive encounters with history that foster curiosity and respect for the people, places, ideas, and objects of colonial and Indigenous communities in the 17th century. We expect all campers and camp families to behave in ways that reflect Plimoth Patuxet’s core values of community, discovery, integrity, preservation, and culture.

Plimoth Patuxet Museums seeks to create equitable, accessible opportunities for all. We celebrate and welcome the many diverse facets of human identity and are committed to continually cultivating an inclusive environment where each unique individual feels seen, heard, and represented. Please contact us if you have a perspective on your camper(s) that may help us to support them better during camp sessions.
