Upcoming Youth & Family Programs
CAMPS
Make, play, and investigate your way through history at our signature week-long program for ages 6-12. Participants explore KHS exhibits, meet special guest speakers, collaborate with new friends, create art inspired by history, and engage in hands-on games and activities. With small class sizes, quality supplies, and top-notch teachers, campers will have a great time learning about Kentucky history!
Winter Break Camp: Incredible Illuminations
December 20, 21, and 22, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm EST
Ages 6-12
What role does light play in your life? To celebrate the new KHS exhibit, Illuminations, we’ll explore a different facet of light with hands-on activities, games, and stories. From natural light (sunlight, starlight, and moonlight ), to firelight (candles, campfires, and communication), and art with light (shadow puppets, stories, and silhouettes). Space is limited, so don’t get left in the dark!
