The New Jersey Society, Sons of the American Revolution partners with the friends of Washington Crossing Park to provide hands-on history programs for classrooms.
Camp in a Box
Each Camp in a Box kit contains supplies and instructions for more than 20 history-themed activities that students (ages 7-12) can do at home. The activities are designed for a single user but can be adapted to accommodate multiple children or an entire classroom with additional supplies. Camp in a Box is available for $25. A member of the NJSSAR Color Guard, dressed in period clothing, will deliver the Camp in a Box to your school or is available for in-person pickup at Washington Crossing Historic Park’s gift shop. Domestic shipping is an additional $10.95.

History Chests are perfect for schools, homeschool pods, libraries, scout troops, and other student groups. These themed trunks can be rented by teachers and other educators to facilitate in-person, hands-on programming for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Chests are available for $45 for one week. A member of the NJSSAR Color Guard, dressed in period clothing, will deliver the Patriot Chest to your school.
