Antibiotics, indoor plumbing, running water… How did people manage without the technological and medical advances of today? During the week, campers will examine some of the struggles that people faced at different eras in history from death and disease to slavery, fires, and natural disasters. Activities include experimentation and problem-solving, scavenger hunts, historical simulations, and walking excursions around Portsmouth. Find out if you have what it takes to survive the past!
