    The conquest of new lands and goods have led humans throughout time to set sail across oceans and seas. Discover the fabled Spice Route which transported cinnamon and cloves, at the time as valuable as gold, from Asia to the Greco-Roman world. Learn how the Vikings raided and traded in places as far away as Constantinople. Design a sailing vessel and create a navigational compass. Play a trade game with your fellow campers to learn of the dangers that seafarers faced and how ideas were transported in addition to wares.
