Summer Camp 2021 

Summer camp is back! Join us this summer for creative art making and messy science. We are excited to host summer camps again this summer, but they will look a little different.

Each camp is limited to 10 campers. All staff and campers are required to wear a face mask and socal distancing will be maintained as much as possible. Check out our Summer Camp Guide for more information about the Museum's summer camps.
