Youngsters take part in a mock battle at Fort Wellington last Tuesday as part of the first kids day of the 2014 season. The weekly summer camp offers youngsters between the ages of seven and 12 a chance to find out what life at the fort was like in the 1840s. Each session includes games and hands-on activities at the national historical site. Last Tuesday was Soldiers Day, and yesterday was War of 1812 Day. Next Tuesday, July 22 is Pirates Day. There is a registration fee for each session that runs from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m; the last camp day of the season is Aug. 19. Call the Fort Wellington visitor centre at 613-925-2896 for more information.
