Teddy Bear Camp Pick Up

Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology

Teddy Bear Camp has come to an end. It's time to pick up your favorite stuffed animal.

Teddy Bear Camp is for stuffed animals (not just teddy bears) belonging to children aged 5-12 in Marion, Hamilton, Hancock, Shelby, Johnson, Morgan, Hendricks, or Boone counties. The stuffed animals are dropped-off at three partner locations and then our staff visit a variety of places during the camp for the stuffed animals to “learn” about history, architecture, and historic preservation. Photos of their adventures are posted to Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology Facebook page daily.  At the end of the camp, the stuffed animals (and their kids) will become “Junior Indiana Preservationists” and receive a certificate. Additionally, the children will receive digital photo albums documenting their stuffies’ adventures. It’s free to participate and brought to you from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology.
