The History Colorado Center is looking for high school students to assist the museum’s Hands on History Camp program. The student will assist in educational programming, organization, planning, and other camp related activities.

Each member of Museum Corp must be able to commit to at least two weeks or 65 hours of camp. Available hours are Monday-Friday, 9-4pm.

Participants will also earn great real-world experience and over 60 hours for school-related community service credit.

2.) Summer Camp which runs June 5-August 11th
We do require all to attend a four hour orientation prior to volunteering.
