Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

Have you ever wondered what was inside your favorite toy? What makes it move and how does it make sound? Can it do something different altogether? We’ll provide the toys and tools and campers will provide the imagination needed to disassemble toys and create something new!

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.
