Important Dates to Remember:

November 9 and 10, 2022
Overnight Experience
Angel Island Living History Program
Registration will open September 7th

The Living History Program is a role-playing experience in which students participate in a simulated historic setting. Our program will be held on Angel Island at Camp Reynolds, a Union Civil War outpost. When the “new recruits” arrive on the island they will become Union Army soldiers from the year 1864. They will hike to Camp Reynolds carrying their personal gear and will be assigned bunks in the Quartermaster building. During the day, recruits will participate in training activities including militia drill, signaling, mess cooking, bread baking, and compass orienteering. 
In the evening we will take a night hike up Mt. Livermore. One of the favorite activities for students is “Night Watch” in which each squad takes a turn keeping an eye on the camp to secure the location. In the morning, one squad will be chosen to assist in the cannon firing demonstration.  Please take note that this trip will be a moderately strenuous activity, so be prepared for a workout.
