Summer Camp

Sold Out!

Robert Mills Carriage House : 1616 Blanding Street, Columbia, SC 29201

Blast from the Past!

Create slime and choreographed dances to rival your favorite boy bands from the 1990s, launch your own rocket as you learn about the Apollo 8 mission, read about popular comic book characters from 1968 – like the Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Batman – and design your own superhero! Play historic games like find-the-thimble and ball-in-cup. And most importantly, take part in epically-themed water balloon battles!

Participants must complete both the registration form and waiver before they can register. Historic Columbia summer camps are intended for children 8-12 years old.

“These guys are fabulous at everything they do and the summer camp for kids further emphasized that. My daughter does summer day week camps all summer and has for years and this is the best we've ever seen. Super creative ideas and so much fun in a beautiful setting. Plus the counselors are fantastic... Laid back but organized. Highly, highly recommend. Can't wait for next year!” —Steph Zschunke Bilovsky

Campers registered after June 1st are not guaranteed the shirt size of their choice.
