Our Senior Youth Interpreter Program, operated over two consecutive weekends offers teens ages 16 and 17 a hands-on opportunity to step into history. Dressed in period costume, campers experience life as young adults in 1866 while learning historical interpretation skills.
Campers work alongside artisans and interpreters, exploring 19th-century skills, trades, and daily life in the Village. They also research behind-the-scenes in the Village Library and Archives, gaining a deeper understanding of history and interpretation. With guidance, participants help mentor younger campers in the Young Interpreter Program, building confidence, communication, and develop leadership skills along the way.
This is a technology-free experience; campers should be prepared to leave modern devices and forms of entertainment at home and enjoy the time-period represented at the Village.
