Deadwood History Hosts Summer Camps in July

Deadwood History, Inc. and the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission will host two more summer camps for area youth. To register for summer camp, please contact Amanda Brown, Education Director, at 605-578-1657. A $10 non-refundable deposit is required per camp. The deposit will be applied to the cost of each camp. Scholarships are available.

Students will learn and use forensic investigation skills at CSI Camp. Figure out how to break the Morse code, find secret messages written in invisible ink, and crack an enigmatic code to solve the museum’s mysteries. This camp promises to be an engaging experience for students. CSI Camp is for students going into grades 4-6 on July 8 – 12 at the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center (HARCC) from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; $40 for members, $50 for non-members plus tax.

Explore the early days of Deadwood and find out what it meant to be a cowboy, a pioneer, a miner, and more at Old West Camp. Campers will focus on the lifestyle of early western settlers, learn about the legends and history of Deadwood, and some of the tricks to being a cowboy. Old West Camp is for students going into grades 1-3 on July 16 – 18. Camp starts and concludes at the Days of '76 Museum from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This camp is free.

Summer Camps are co-sponsored by the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission, Adams-Mastrovich Family Foundation, Deadwood History, Black Hills Pioneer, Twin City Hardware, Bill Haas, Pack Horse, Mayor Turbiville Supporting Kids Fund, First Interstate Bank Lead-Deadwood Community Foundation, Lynn’s Dakotamart, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and the William Karl & Laura L.
