OZARK MOUNTAINS, Mo. (June 1, 2026) — Silver Dollar City wants America’s kids to help uncover what’s next, launching a free national kids club where big ideas come with a special doorstep delivery, all while inspiring the country’s next generation of builders, creators and craftsmen. |
|
The Mini Miners Crew invites kids ages 5–12 to apply to become members of a special team tasked with sharing ideas for future rides, food and experiences at the park in the Heart of the Ozarks. Selected recruits will receive a custom welcome kit in the mail, complete with an official Mini Miners Crew light-up helmet, personalized membership certificate and club T-shirt. |
|
“For more than 65 years, we’ve been keeping American craftsmanship alive at Silver Dollar City right out in the open where folks can hear the ring of a hammer, see glass shaped in fire and watch something real take form by hand,” said Brandei Clifton, Senior Publicity Manager for Silver Dollar City. |
|
“Those skills are at risk across America. We’re seeing fewer young people step into the trades, and that’s not just a workforce problem; it’s an inspiration problem. Mini Miners is our way of passing the torch. It invites kids to dream and create. If craftsmanship has a home, it ought to have a future too, and we believe that future starts with them.” |
|
Children interested in joining the Mini Miners Crew can visit HERE to upload a short video sharing their big idea. Selected recruits will be featured in park content and may have an opportunity to present their concepts directly to park leaders, proving you don’t have to be all grown up to dream up something big. |
|
The program will conclude with a Mini Miners Meetup on August 14 at Silver Dollar City, where the crew will be part of a historic moment at the park. |
|
“At its heart, the Mini Miners Crew is about much more than what arrives in the mail,” Clifton added. “It’s about celebrating the spirit of creativity, craftsmanship and family that built Silver Dollar City from the ground up. We’re so excited to meet our miners.” |
|
Space in the mine is limited. Applications for the Mini Miners Crew are now open through June 30 at silverdollarcity.com/mini-miners. |
