Campers use their hands as much as their brains in Dirty Jobs and they’ll time-travel to the 1800s when they learn how to prepare biscuits on the wood stove in Pioneer Kids.
Location and Structure
Campers participate in either full-day or half-day sessions. There are two different themes each week, one each in the morning and afternoon sessions. Age groups are divided into 6–8 and 9–11 year olds. There will be an average ratio of one teacher for every ten students or less.
HOH’s “home base” will be inside the historic Reynolds Cabin in the Clear Creek History Park near the corner of 11th and Illinois Streets in downtown Golden. For activities, campers and instructors may also travel throughout downtown Golden and all three of Golden History Museums’ locations.
