Event Details

Calling all curious kids! Step behind the scenes of a real museum and become a History Detective. In this hands-on summer camp, campers will investigate historic objects, uncover clues from the past, and learn how museums care for, study, and display artifacts.
Participants will practice real curating skills: examining artifacts, documenting discoveries, preserving objects, and designing a mini-exhibit, all while exploring history through games, challenges, and creative projects. By the end of the week, campers will have solved historical mysteries and curated their very own exhibit!
Campers should bring a packed lunch each day. Snacks will be provided.
