Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

Is fashion your thing? Repurpose and redesign your wardrobe into something that better fits your own personal style! We’ll play with fabrics, experiment with fabric dying, turn an ordinary object into an eye-catching accessory and upcycle the unwearable into the perfect outfit.

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.
