Early American Adventure Camp Week One 2026

Early American Adventure Camp is our full day camp, offered in conjunction with West Hartford’s Westmoor Park.

Through activities at both the Noah Webster House and Westmoor Park, children experience first-hand the chores, games and history of the past. This year, each week offers a different theme and a new set of activities! Week One campers will learn about Piracy in the 1700s, and Week Two campers will experience Early America Through The Seasons. At Westmoor Park, children care for the barnyard animals, tend the vegetable garden, and create crafts from nature.

Week One: Piracy in the 1700s

7/6/26 – 7/10/26

Did you know West Hartford’s very own Noah Webster wrote a book about the dangers of piracy?

Climb aboard & set sail into the 1700s as campers become early American adventurers, learning all about pirates, playing themed-games, & creating hands-on crafts inspired by 18th-century swashbucklers!

Camp is held at two different locations: Monday/Wednesday/Friday sessions will be held at the Noah Webster House, 227 South Main Street. Tuesday and Thursday sessions will be held at Westmoor Park, 119 Flagg Road.
