Foster a love of science and exploration all summer long.
Spend the summer making discoveries at the Field Museum! Field Explorers Summer Camps are perfect for curious minds in grades K-8. Campers get the chance to join museum experts and scientists on guided explorations of the museum’s exhibitions and collections to find answers to their own scientific questions.
We also offer options for our littlest campers through the PlayLab Summer Camps programs.
What Will Campers Do?
Campers will have the opportunity to engage with the natural and human worlds through tailored learning experiences and up-close encounters with our collections. Learn what happens behind-the-scenes, connect with Museum experts, investigate using real scientific tools, and discover stories that only the Field Museum can tell.
