Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

• Tables are spaced 5-6 feet apart.
• We will have up to two campers per 6’ table, sitting at opposite ends of the table.
• We allow campers to self select their seat for the day. Siblings may choose to sit together or at different tables.

• All materials will be grouped per child. Each camper will have a bin of art supplies that will be just theirs to use during the camp day. When extra materials are needed, an ISM staff person will gather those materials.
• We will do our best to limit contact with non-camp staff and museum guests. This includes visiting the galleries before the museum opens and having lunch in our camp room.
• Recess and free exploration are important aspects of camp. We will have variety of exploration bins that a camper can explore with for the day. These materials will be cleaned at the end of each day. If the weather permits (not raining), we will go outside for walks and non-contact recess games.

• Campers will wash their hands when entering and leaving the camp room, before and after snack and lunch, and after using the restroom. Both hand sanitizer and soap and water will be available for campers to use as needed.
• Tables, chairs, camper bins, and materials will be cleaned at the end of each camp day, once the campers have left for the day.
• We are using 80% isopropyl alcohol, Virex, and cleaning wipes to clean items after use.

• Campers and ISM staff will be expected to wear a mask during the camp day, except for lunch and snack time.
• Pick-up and drop off will happen in the circle drive right outside the museum entrance. This will limit the number of adults in the camp space. Additional details will be emailed to parents before camp.
• If we don’t reach our minimum camp attendance, camp will be cancelled on the Monday the week before that scheduled camp.

Activities will result in one product at completion. Children can work alone or with a partner, whichever works best for your family. Families with multiple children can opt to purchase one or more kits.

Fridays, October 2, 9, 16 & 23 from 4:30 – 6 p.m. Details will be emailed to parents on October 1, 8, 15 & 22.

We have a quick and easy non-contact delivery where we will place the kit in your trunk. Details will be emailed to you on the Wednesday before pick-up. Pick-up will take place in the circle drive in front of the Indiana State Museum at 650 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, Indiana, 46204.

Nearly everything will be included in the kit. Your child may need to provide their own water and scissors. For activities that call for drawing a picture with a crayon, we will only include one or two crayons. Your child may want to add to their creations from their own art stash.

Nope! Once you have the kit, the materials are yours and nothing will need to be returned.

We have tried our best to provide activities that campers can do alone or with limited adult supervision. However, you know your child best and whether or not they may need an assistant to help with instructions. We’ve also heard that some families have used these kits as a way for their whole family to connect and learn. Please use these activities in whatever way works best for your family.

No, this is the same kit from the summer. Fall Fun and Grossology are brand new kits with new and different activities.
