Designed to meet the developmental needs of children ages 3 - 8, the camps offer activities that immerse campers in the theme of the session. And our flexible schedule allows you to choose from four 2-week sessions. Enjoy one, two, three or all four sessions!
Art, music, drama, nature activities . . . and much more! Each day will include outdoor time and time to enjoy the Museum's interactive exhibits!
Taught by professional Museum educators and assisted by student teachers and our CIT's, Museum camps feature a low teacher-to-camper ratio, assuring plenty of individualized attention. Programs are geared for hands-on exploration and provide open-ended opportunities for children to build understanding and knowledge. Your child will learn while having fun!
