Once camp begins, we will add to this page and customize it to make Epic Patriot Camp 2025 the best experience possible. Check back for updates as we head to camp and add information to this page. Get excited, HUZZAH!

Our plan of attack

Welcome, welcome, welcome to Virtual Epic Patriot Camp 2025: Independence!

If you joined us for either EPC22 or EPC23 (or both), you'll notice that we've gone through a BIG change. Despite this, it's still the same camp, with the same faces, on the same mission. Allow me to give you an idea of what we'll be doing this year.

REVOLUTIONARY CHARACTERS

Every Epic Patriot Camper is assigned one of these Revolutionary Characters to tell their story of 1780-83. BELOW ARE THE CHARACTERS FOR EPC2024. All campers were given the opportunity to keep their character or be assigned a new character. Characters will be paired that make the most sense for intersecting events so campers will have a helpful critique group for research, brainstorming, shared resources and fun ideas. As you research your character, find out if there is a museum dedicated to him or her, including any online exhibits.
