Make this summer one to remember with brain-boosting camps at the History Museum. Avoid the summer brain drain with unique and exciting experiences at the History Museum's week-long camps! Sign up for one or all three. Campers will creatively boost thinking skills in a safe, supervised, and interesting environment. They'll learn and play in and around the History Museum while getting plenty of fresh air throughout the day, taking field trips to other local museums and landmarks, and lunch outside (weather permitting). Details * Each camp is limited to 30 participants. * Ages 8-11. * Hours: 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. * Cost: o Historical Society members, $265.00 per week. o Non-members, $295.00 per week.

Each day, campers will learn about a different aspect of what makes a museum work and how to craft a great exhibition. They'll also develop their own individual mini exhibit, complete with their very own exhibit opening at the end of the week! Kids receive special access to the Historical Society's collections, and the museum's skilled exhibitions team will support campers in crafting their own unique creations.

We'll head outside to try our hand at sketching local plants and wildlife just like Scottish botanist David Douglas did in the early 1800s; we'll navigate the neighborhood using environmental information like the explorers Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark; and we'll keep a log of our adventures like astronaut Bonnie Dunbar (who lived in Washington and was president of the Museum of Flight!).

Each day, campers will unravel a mystery related to a unique artifact. While they're sleuthing, they'll learn about Washington from the state's first peoples to Oregon Trail adventures and mountain eruptions. Let's just say, history is not for wimps!
