History Adventure Camp

Camp season is here, and there’s plenty for young explorers to discover at the Tampa Bay History Center. History Adventure Camp brings Florida stories out of the classroom and into the museum galleries through hands-on activities, games, and discovery. Space is limited to keep groups small, so register today and send your camper on a history adventure this summer.
