Campers gain unique, up-close access to the Natural History Museum's vast collections and research, interacting directly with real scientists and their work.
Adventures in Nature Day Camp at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County offers children in grades K-5 a unique opportunity to explore science and nature. Campers engage in hands-on activities, interact with museum collections, and meet real wildlife biologists and paleontologists. The curriculum is designed to spark curiosity and provide up-close access to 4.5 billion years of life on Earth. Each week features a different theme, such as investigating nocturnal animals, exploring fossils and ancient life, or becoming insect investigators. Through these immersive experiences, children develop scientific observation skills, learn about different ecosystems, and gain an appreciation for the natural world.
A typical day involves hands-on activities, exploring museum exhibits and gardens, meeting museum scientists, and engaging in projects related to the weekly theme. Drop-off is from 8:30-9:00 am, with camp activities running from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
This camp is best for curious children in grades K-5 who have a keen interest in science, nature, dinosaurs, and animals, and enjoy hands-on learning experiences.
