SUMMER CAMP WILL RETURN in 2025
In 2024 we introduced themed summer camp pods:
Our June camps were themed Big Time Biology where we explored agriculture, while our July camps were Astronaut Training!
The weeks within each theme were standalone camps based around a topic and your child could easily pick and choose which weeks to attend. However, experiencing a full month’s worth of themed camp goodness presented a more complete understanding of that larger topic.
Camps incorporate a snack related to the topic, so we do ask that a food allergy information registration form be filled out. Lessons are taught by certified teachers, accompanied by museum staff, and a “local expert”, when relevant. Plus playtime in the museum!
Thursdays are dedicated to children entering First and Second Grade. Fridays are for students entering Third through Fifth Grades. All students must be toilet-independent. Each day begins at 9A and ends at 12P and is $40 per day ($30 if you’re a member).
*Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. But you knew that…
