Youth Camps

At the museum, we offer a wide variety of outdoor education programs and camps many times a year for children ages 6-15. See our calendar in the right column for upcoming camps.  

Each camp follows a STEAM curriculum, games, exploration, and discovery while encouraging values such as teamwork and trust, problem-solving, stewardship, and the core routines of outdoor education and nature connection.
