Step back in time at Courtyard Camp hosted at Hermann-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses, a one-of-a-kind summer experience set on two National Historic Landmark properties in the heart of the French Quarter. Each week, campers 7-12 years of age explore what daily life was really like in nineteenth-century New Orleans: how people lived, worked, cooked, played, and adapted to a rapidly changing world. Through hands-on activities, games, and creative projects, kids discover how the city grew into the place we know today, all while learning in an environment where history is something you can see, touch, and experience.
