Knight at the Museum

Knight at the Museum

As the doors of the museum close to the public, and the last rays of sunlight fade, the museum’s medieval adventure begins.  Knight at the Museum is a rare opportunity for 35 children, ages 5-11, to spend time after hours surrounded by museum exhibits and hands-on projects.  Under the expert care of the museum curator and CSU, Chico student counselors, children will explore the life and times of real knights, dabble in calligraphy, go on a treasure hunt, and delve into dragonology. Admission price includes a dinner of pizza, fruit, veggies, juice, and treats. Spots fill up early; it is suggested you register before the week of spring break, March 7th-12th.

Children work around a craft table while the supervisors assist.
