Summer Camps
Since 1999
This is your great-great-grandma’s camping! All Camp Flintlock Residential Camps and Apprentice Adventures Camps take place entirely outdoors, with campers staying in primitive canvas tents, sleeping on straw mattresses, and cooking over a real fire. Due to state regulations, simple bathroom facilities are provided, but otherwise, campers live just as they would have in colonial times, with our friendly and knowledgeable staff to guide them through the experience.​ For younger children, consider our Day Camp in downtown Raleigh!
​Summer camps take place in mid-June to early July, though exact dates vary year to year.
Camp Flintlock announces summer camp dates in January.
The Camp Flintlock Day Camp is tailored to a slightly younger audience. In partnership with historic sites, our day camp takes place on historic site grounds. Campers learn about Colonial American history and daily life through engaging activities such as singing colonial songs, making colonial crafts, touring the site, and playing colonial games. Each day is themed around a different aspect of early-American culture—Town Life Tuesday, Wigwam Wednesday, etc.—with a focus on the contributions that various groups and peoples have made to the American way of life.
