Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is hosting two sessions of a children’s summer camp titled I Spy: A Civil War Academy, June 26-28 and July 17-19, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. During this three-day camp, participants will hear the stories of several Civil War spies, both Union and Confederate, who did what they could to help their cause through covert means. Campers will learn about the skills needed to be an effective spy; everything from code breaking to effective disguises. Campers will also discover some of the technology used during the Civil War that assisted spies in their work. The telegraph and the hot air balloon were both relatively new inventions that clandestine agents exploited during the war. The camp is open to ages 8-11. Campers must pre-register and make payment by call (804) 861- 2408.
