It is a simulation in which the girls, referred to as “handmaidens”, participate in a medieval-type plot where they have the opportunity through play and imagination to learn what it means to be a real Princess. A Princess is a daughter of God and therefore, her actions are consistent with her divine heritage. She is virtuous and courageous. Handmaidens will overcome challenges and learn that they can do hard things. They are mentored throughout the day by loving youth leaders and adults in a safe environment. At the end of the day, Fathers arrive as escorts to a Royal Feast and Ball to celebrate!"

Registration usually in March and the event is usually held in June.

There are five main sections to Thanksgiving Point's new Natural History Museum. First there's a curiosity garden. (I haven't seen that section yet - the day I went was too windy - so please let us know what cool things they have there!)

Third, they have an engineering section. It wasn't completely finished when I went, but they did have big pretty-much-indistructable foam blocks to build with.

Fourth, they have a waterworks section. This has several GREAT engineering and natural disaster exhibits. Not to mention fun water play. (Bring an extra change of clothes so the kids can go all out!)

Fifth, they have an amazing rainforest section. This has lot of fun science exhibits and a huge playground.

Crandall Historical Printing Museum

What's Offered:

As visitors to the Crandall Museum learn through hands-on experience the methods of invention and printing, they also are taught by expert docents the significant impact printing has had on world history. This story is seldom told or preserved, even in the school systems.

Outreach programs, community events, research, publication and academic support are part of the museum's educational mission. During the Provo Freedom Festival they have also have exhibits on the colonial days.  They have three areas of study: Johannes Gutenberg (1455 AD), 18th Century, and the 19th Century.
