An Historic, Fun Experience for Kids in Grades 4 through 7

Each day of Amazing Arizona at Cave Creek Museum will have a different theme that presents Arizona to the campers with engaging and hands-on activities.

For example, last year’s Cave Creek Museum summer camp themes included Archaeology; Desert Gatherings, explaining edible plants; Mining, which included the stamp mill being run and the campers panning for gold; Pioneers and Ranching, where campers learned how to rope a steer and wagon wheel rug making; and Travel, where they learned about travel across the country and what needed to be packed into the wagon. This year will be even more amazing!
