Free to all youth under 18, Summer Camp In offers hands-on history to youth—and the young at heart—perfected by the flagship museum of a system that serves more than 86,000 students each year. 

Amid canoes and campfire songs, activities in the museum’s scenic Camp Colorado include fishing and splashing in an indoor lake of blue-foam blocks, building epic Lincoln-log and lego creations, and cooking up playtime meals in the camp's big tent. The fun continues with beekeeping surrounded by 20-foot-tall flowers in the museum’s whimsical pop-up exhibit, Wildflowers, Wild Places, in the sun-soaked 7,000-square-foot Anschutz Hamilton Hall. Refreshing food and drink from Café Rendezvous round out a picture-perfect day amid four floors of interactive exhibits.

Summer living is easy! No advance registration required. RTD brings you to the museum’s doorstep. Covered parking in the Cultural Center Complex Garage keeps your vehicle out of the rain, heat, and hail.

Regular fees apply for adult admissions as well as field trips, group tours and other summer experiences.
