Polk Academy: Curator Camp

This exciting opportunity to get behind the scenes of history will allow students to get hands-on experience in historical research, museum planning, and artifact care and interpretation. Throughout the week, students will learn about proper artifact handling, researching a historical topic, designing and manufacturing their own exhibit and more. The camp will conclude with a reception and opening of the new exhibit for families and friends.

Polk Academy runs from 9am-2pm daily with drop off and pick up occurring at the Sister's House Visitor's Center. Campers should pack a water bottle and lunch daily, in addition to applying sunscreen, bug spray or any other needed products before camp. Snacks will be provided daily and campers should expect to be outside daily.
