Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

Become a museum pirate and search for buried treasure! We’ll construct a seaworthy vessel, create tools to capture fish and use simple machines to get to the coveted treasure.

Youth will enjoy an engaging summer camp experience filled with hands-on making, creating, discovery and play! Explore the museum’s galleries, get up close to specimens and artifacts, wander through our Watanabe Gardens and enjoy the canal view with integrated art, science and nature exploration.
