Battleship Summer Camp

Ahoy there! Looking for something different for the kids this summer?

From July 7th thru 11th, the Battleship New Jersey will host a camp program from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm each day. The Battleship’s summer camp program will include detailed tours of the ship, a ride on the 4D Flight Simulator, special classroom sessions on the history of the ship, interactive activities including knot tying and ship building, and even a graduating ceremony, award presentation and pizza party on Friday, July 11th.

“We will show campers what life was like aboard the Battleship New Jersey,” commented Michael Flynn, Director of Education for the Battleship. “But we will also have a lot of fun during the week, including some special field trips to the Adventure Aquarium and the Independence Seaport Museum at Penn’s Landing. Both trips are included in the price of the camp.”

Flynn added that the Battleship is also offering a special Overnight Encampment to all campers. Although this would be an additional expense to campers, guests can spend Saturday, July 12th overnight on the ship. This includes dinner and breakfast served chowline-style from the crew’s galley and the chance to sleep in the bunks that the crew of the USS New Jersey once did.
