Something for Everyone
Camps target the grade your child will enter in the fall.
- Kindergarten and 1st Grade Camps Half-day camps offer a variety of activities and movement at the Museum.
- 2nd and 3rd Grade Camps Half-day and full-day camps delve deeper into the science, offer more experiments, and include field trips both on and off the University campus.
- 4th and 5th Grade Camps offer full-day and half-day adventures, take kids off the University campus, and offer increased creative expression. NOTE: MarsBots is a FREE camp.
- 10th - 12th Grade Camps Teens are exposed to science at work in University laboratories, in education and career choices, and in the investigation of a mock homicide. Both of our teen camp offerings are offered FREE of charge.

Visiting the Museum during Camp
|
|
Your child will have many great experience at the Museum during his or her week at camp. They may want to experience the Museum with you! As a registered camper, you and your child will be able to visit the Museum at no charge during the week of camp. We ask that you pay regular admission for any non-registered siblings, friends, or adults who accompany you. Of course, UMNH Members always get in for free.
