Summer Camps

Registration is now open for 2026 Summer Camps at the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia in Staunton!
The Frontier Culture Museum offers weekly summer camps throughout June and July for children ages 5–12. Campers will explore history through hands-on activities, outdoor play, crafts, games, music, dancing, gardening, cooking, woodworking, textiles, interactions with farm animals, and more.
Camp programs are divided by age group:
• Summertime on the Frontier (Ages 5–7)
• Playing in the Past (Ages 8–9)
• Living in History (Ages 10–12)
Each camp provides opportunities for children to learn through exploration, movement, creativity, and supervised outdoor activities in a museum setting. Depending on the age group, campers may participate in activities such as fishing, historical games, baking, historical interpreting, field work, schoolhouse lessons, and historic crafts.
Camps run weekly Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Drop-off is from 8:00–8:30 AM and pickup is from 4:00–5:00 PM at the Octagonal Barn.
