โ›บCamp sign ups may be ending, but the fun is just beginning!

๐ŸŒŸOur summer programs take that same educational magic and expand it into a week-long journey of discovery. Here, where Tennessee's story began as the first capital of the Southwest Territory, your child will do more than learn about the pastโ€”they'll live it, building confidence and a unique perspective along the way.

Campers this Summer will spend their days exploring the frontier and history first hand with crafts, games, and educational programs.

With only 15-20 campers per week, every child gets personal attention and hands-on experiences that build real confidence.

For 60 years, teachers have trusted Rocky Mount to bring history alive. Now your child can experience that same magic in our summer camp: stepping back to 1791 when Tennessee was still a territory, walking the grounds where Daniel Boone, Andrew Jackson, and Constitutional signer William Blount shaped our state's beginning.
