Each day of camp, the young ladies will be invited to dress up in replica vintage style era appropriate clothing and participate in a variety of role play activities and crafts.
 Living History Day Camps featuring the Colonial Days (Era: 1600's - 1700's) , the Victorian Times (also known as the Civil War Era: 1800's) and the Decades Time Travel Camp (Era: 1900's - 2011). These camps will provide the most memorable “hands-on” history experience that a 7 – 12 year old young lady will remember! Living History Day Camps will be offered in JUNE & JULY ONLY!
We intentionally keep each of the camps small in size to provide an intimate setting at Mes Amis Teahouse at Nob Hill. Each session will allow for only 12 – 14 girls. Space will be limited and reservations will be on a first come, first served basis. Due to the high demand for this camp, a $50 non-refundable deposit will be required to reserve a space.

Michelle observed with fascination the excitement that their daughters exhibited as they read the American Girl Book Series. The girls were able to read about the similarities and differences of historical girls their age. Consequently, Michelle's concept is not to just read about historical girls, but to experience some aspects of their lives. The goal of the Living History Day CampsTM program is to create an environment where participants are given an unique opportunity to dress in vintage style clothing, role play by participating in era appropriate activities, and lastly, to “connect” with the past by bringing it to life… Co-Directors: Helen Aragon Sterling has two degrees from the University of New Mexico: a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Architecture and a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling.
