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

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.
