Wonder Women in Science  (SOLD OUT)

Girl Power is the name of the game for this camp, which was created to celebrate women in science. Join us as we spend the week combining summer fun with natural science exploration. We’ll conduct hands-on experiments, explore the Museum’s science departments, and find inspiration in women scientists past and present who are blazing trails for the female scientists of tomorrow.      

Kaleidoscope: Art and Science (SOLD OUT)

Is there art in science? Is there science in art? This camp will investigate these questions as we explore natural science and all its beauty, diversity, and creativity. We’ll look towards our outside world to explore color, movement, and sound. Nature will serve as our muse in hands-on activities, art projects, and theater games. Museum exhibitions will be our lab and inspiration. Come discover the beauty of nature!     

I’m an Ologist (SOLD OUT)

What would it be like to be a scientist at The Nat? Spend the week in the shoes of a paleontologist, entomologist, herpetologist, ornithologist, and botanist! Each day, we’ll discover a new natural science, conduct experiments, create crafts, and spend time in our natural world. Who knew natural science could be so fun? 

Rock On! (SOLD OUT)

Discover the splendor and science found right under your feet! San Diego is one of the most famous gem-producing regions in the world, but where do these minerals come from, and how are they formed? We will answer these questions and more as we explore the dynamic forces that are continually changing Earth. We’ll make art projects, perform experiments, and visit Museum exhibitions like Hidden Gems. Rock on!    

Paleo FBI  (SOLD OUT)

Do you “dig” paleontology? Ever wonder how fossils are formed and found? Then, join the Fossil Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In this camp, we’ll learn and work like real scientists. We’ll travel back to the age of dinosaurs as we unlock fossil mysteries and look at local discoveries uncovered by the Museum’s own paleontology department. We’ll conduct hands-on experiments, make art projects, and take regular trips to the Museum’s exhibitions and Balboa Park.
