About
Summer Camp at Golden History Museum & Park is a day camp where campers explore history, science, art, and more through a variety of hands-on activities and games.

Campers are supervised at all times by museum staff, with an average ratio of one teacher for every 12 campers.

• Price: Member: half-day $195/week, full-day $390/week; Non-member: half-day $220/week, full-day $440/week; member prices require a current Household membership ($95) or higher; Early Drop-off (8 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.) $35/week or $10/day; Extended Pick-up (4:15 p.m. – 5 p.m.) $35/week or $10/day; both early and late care $55/week.
The camp offers unique themes for ages 6–8 and 9–12, and camp themes repeat throughout the summer.
