Each day of Amazing Arizona at Cave Creek Museum will have a different theme that presents Arizona to the campers with engaging and hands-on activities.

For example, last year’s Cave Creek Museum summer camp themes included Archaeology; Desert Gatherings, explaining edible plants; Mining, which included the stamp mill being run and the campers panning for gold; Pioneers and Ranching, where campers learned how to rope a steer and wagon wheel rug making; and Travel, where they learned about travel across the country and what needed to be packed into the wagon. This year will be even more amazing!

The Cave Creek Museum is located at 6140 E. Skyline Drive, Cave Creek AZ 85327. The phone number is (480) 488-2764. www.cavecreekmuseum.org
