CSPM is bursting at the seams with summer programs and events full of learning opportunities! Even though the recent snow storms might lead us to believe differently, summer has finally arrived! The museum is pleased to announce a full summer of family friendly activities. With so much going on, we couldn’t imagine offering these programs without the support of our Junior Docents. Each May we select middle and high school students to act as interpreters of regional history for the museum. Thirty Junior Docents will support our Sensing History program, Family Weekend Workshops, Children’s History Hour and Colorado Grown Family Fun Day. We are excited to welcome our largest class of Junior Docents for 2019! Drop-in Tuesdays through Saturdays anytime between 10 am and 2 pm and explore our exhibits through a new perspective. Junior Docents will offer hands-on activities, show interesting artifacts and engage guests in conversations throughout the museum. Children’s groups are welcome to schedule a guided version of the program at least two weeks in advance. Are you interested in taking a deeper dive into local history? Sign-up the family (children 6+) for a Weekend Workshop. Five Saturdays throughout June and July the museum will offer two 45 minute workshops highlighting different local history topics (Session #1: 10:15 - 11:00 am & Session #2: 1:00 - 1:45 pm). We’ll learn basic quilting techniques, experiment with regional recipes, and experience an average day in the life of a tuberculosis patient in 1917.
