Summer Camp 2010

 

Summer campers enjoyed a week full of old fashioned camp fun.
They learned about 17th-century chores, wrote with a quill pen,
did the laundry (the old fashioned way), dipped candles, met the
animals, and ended the week with a tour for their parents.

The recreated country home of William Penn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, provides a peaceful contrast to the hurry of modern American life. The construction of the original manor was an expression of Penn's belief that life in the country was more wholesome than in the worldly atmosphere of crowded cities. Pennsbury Manor is permeated with the spirit of this kindly, devout humanitarian, and it gives the visitor a sense of the unhurried grace and charm of those years when Pennsylvania was William Penn's "Holy Experiment."

Pennsbury Manor was located with a view to convenient water transportation on the Delaware and consequently is off the major highways. It can be reached by the tourist by a short drive from U.S. 1, U.S. 13, or the Pennsylvania Turnpike by following the routes in the Directions to Pennsbury
