In this historical role-playing simulation, campers will play the role of the senior officers of the United States Navy as they prosecute the opening months of the Pacific War, including the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. Using maps, model ships, and historical documents, campers will be confronted with the same decisions that these leaders had to make and will have to respond to the results of those decisions in real time.
This camp will deepen your child’s knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the Pacific Theater of World War II and the decisions the leaders of that conflict had to make. Along the way, campers will develop their creative problem-solving, geography, organizational, cooperation, negotiation, and presentation skills, all while learning the difference between strategy and tactics, how naval operations are planned and executed, and what it takes to keep a navy fed, clothed, healthy, and able to complete its mission.
No advance knowledge of World War II is required or expected. Campers will be given a brief background information packet approximately two weeks before the start of the camp with all the necessary background information.
Your mission: launch offensive operations against the Imperial Japanese Navy and avenge Pearl Harbor!
