Shafer Historical Museum
SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION OPEN
Build and tinker with us this summer! Explore the Shafer Museum behind the scenes, getting up close and personal with the pioneer history of the Methow Valley - and the technologies, crafts and hands-on skills used in the past. Campers will use their hands to make, build, play and create in this 4-day camp. We'll make stuff, build things, play games!
