CAMP GERONIMO 2025

June 6th

The Airborne Museum’s American military re-enactment camp, Camp Geronimo, will open its doors from June 5 to 9, from 9am to 8pm, and will be free to enter as every year. It will be held in conjunction with the commemoration of the 81st anniversary of D-Day.

With its vast array of period vehicles, stages and demonstrations, Camp Geronimo, organized by the Airborne Museum for nearly fifteen years, is a must-attend event for the Normandy Landing festivities, and has become one of the biggest American re-enactment camps in France. After a 2024 edition marked by a duration and number of activities in keeping with the event that was the 80th anniversary, this year Camp Geronimo returns to a normal configuration, which nevertheless yields nothing to the quality of its events.

In order to best capture the atmosphere and scenes of life in a Normandy military camp, the museum called on the services of several seasoned re-enactment associations, including V for Victory, MVCG Bretagne, 39th ITD, Enfer Normand and Eure Liberté 44. In all, 150 participants, over 80 vehicles including 7 tanks, and daily activities both inside and outside the camp. Camp Geronimo has had an educational vocation from the outset, and aims to provide the public with a historically rigorous insight into the ins and outs of American camp life during the war, the habits and customs of soldiers, particularly paratroopers, and the vehicles and tools used in the US Army.
