Some animal features seem helpful but others might lead us to wonder, "What in the world do I do with that?" In these five-day camps, campers will start each morning with one question about a specific animal feature. Where they end up and just how many answers and stories they uncover will be driven by new questions and experiments they test for themselves: What do I do with a feather like this? Or a tooth?
The grade band for each camp refers to the grade a camper will be entering in the fall. Choose a theme—feathers and birds, teeth and animals—or an exhibition to pique your camper’s curiosity. The K–1 camps are A Tooth of a Tale, Feathers on Display, Wild Color, and Jurassic Oceans.
One-week sessions run Monday–Friday, 9am–3pm. Aftercare is available until 5pm for an additional $125, and space is limited.
Scholarship applications have closed for 2022 summer camps.
