This image shows adolescent males, in military costumes, sitting inside the camp site tent in Revolution Place. There is also a mother dressing her son in a military costume, standing outside the tent.

The camp of the Continental Army wasn’t just General George Washington and his soldiers. It was filled with aides, cooks, and camp followers. Find out what it takes to keep an army clean and fed before microwaves or washing machines.

History Explorers Club playdates are best enjoyed by ages 7-11 but fun for all kids.
