Plimoth Patuxet Summer Camp: Along the Shores of Change (Ages 8-12)

Along the Shores of Change: Living 17th-Century History (Ages 8-12)

From life before the Mayflower in Europe to the Mayflower voyage, campers will explore the Pilgrims’ arrival in Wampanoag homelands and their relationships with the Indigenous peoples. Campers will represent members of this story and their lives and struggles. We will explore our Historic Patuxet Homesite, Mayflower II, and our 1627 English Village and learn about ways of living and thinking as we experience this history. To conclude their journey campers will have the chance to share testimonials with a live audience. 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.
