Summer Day Camp

Hands on History

Registration starts February 16, 2010

Weeklong history day camp from 8:30am – 3:00pm

Located at the Clear Creek History Park
Corner of 11th and Arapahoe Streets, downtown Golden

Learn by doing at Hands-on History Summer Day Camp! Kids will experience Golden history by joining the Golden Reds historic baseball team, testing their volunteer firefighter skills on Inspection Day, and spending a day in the late 1800s doing chores and attending a one-room schoolhouse. The week ends with the kids starring in their very own silent movies, just like the ones shown at the old Gem Theater in downtown Golden.
