History Camp America 2021
On Saturday, July 10, 2021, we held our first History Camp America—welcoming more than 500 online attendees!
More than 45 sessions—including presentations, historic site tours, recipes, trivia, session-stretch yoga, and more! (See session schedule below.)
More than 12 history-focused sponsors and exhibitors—many of which you know and love from past History Camps joined us in our online format.
Registrants received exclusive access to the video archive of all sessions, tours, and history walks for one year following the event. Afterwards, app sessions were made available to the public.
