CAMP FLOYD STATE PARK 2010 JOHNSTON'S ARMY ADVENTURE CAMP

Exploring life with Johnston's Army
Travel back in time to 1858 - 1861 and enter the world of a soldier with Johnston's Army at Camp Floyd in the Utah Territory.

Arriving at camp, your commanding officer will instruct you and fellow recruits on the logistics and activities that await you. New recruits are processed, mustered into the army and issued uniforms.
