The closest airports are Richmond International Airport,
Norfolk International Airport, Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport.
- Washington Dulles International Airport is about 2 hours
away, Reagan Washington National airport is approximately 2 hrs and 45
minutes and BWI in Baltimore is about 3 1/2 hrs. All major airlines fly to
these airports. BWI is where Southwest Airlines, AirTran and other low-cost
airlines fly. If you are using these airports, we suggest planning a
pre-camp tour of the many educational sites in Washington DC, Williamsburg
and Jamestown.
Williamsburg
- For 81 formative years, from 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was
the political, cultural, and educational center of Virginia, which
was then the largest, most populous, and most influential of the
American colonies. Step back in time to experience the ideas and
dreams of both great and everyday people on the eve of the American
Revolution. See how people dressed and lived and hear how they spoke
200 years ago. Make history come alive for your child.
- American History classes will never again be
boring.
Jamestown
- The Far East has its Mecca, Palestine its Jersualem, France its
Lourdes, and Italy its Loretto, but America's only shrines are her
altars of patriotism - the first and most potent being Jamestown.
Jamestown is the site of the first permanent English colony in
America. On May 13, 1607, one hundred seven Englishmen arrived in
three small ships and moored them to the trees on this island. A
"must" educational trip for every school child in America.
Shopping at
Potomac Mills Factory Outlets - A bargain-hunter's dream at 60-70%
off retail prices. Features hundreds of the best names in retail
offering the latest fashions, gifts, electronics, or dining options at
outlet prices. Just in time for Back-To-School shopping.
Washington DC - The nation's capital attracts almost twenty million
visitors each year. The nation's showcase puts on quite a display for
its guests, and admission to virtually all major attractions is free.
The most famous sites are concentrated along the Mall, including the
White House, individual memorials to four of the greatest Presidents,
Vietnam and World War II memorials and the outstanding museums of the
Smithsonian Institution. See how the dollar is made at the Department of
Treasury, learn how Congress works at the US Capitol, get a thrill at
the Spy Museum and dozens of other attractions.
