Ever wonder what it would have been like to live as an English child in 1600s Plymouth? Now you can find out! Kids 8 to 11 are invited to spend an historical and fun filled week experiencing the life of an English colonial child.

Each day children will tour the museum’s sites, then change into colonial clothes and travel back in time! In authentic houses on the museum’s Colonial Education Site, they will learn to talk, work, cook and play as a colonial child. Children will have time each day to work on their own project, an authentic 1600s style ball or a poppet (doll). On Friday afternoon parents are invited to the museum to see what their “colonists” have learned, and to share a meal of authentic colonial foods!

Participants bring their own lunches and snacks and should wear sturdy leather shoes. Colonial costumes will be provided by the museum for use during the program. The program is presented by experienced staff from Plimoth Plantation's Colonial Education Department.

$285 per child; $235 for members.
