“You have taught my kids how to be kids again.”

Our unique day camp sessions give campers ages 4 to 9 the opportunity to develop new friendships while building social and science skills. The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum grounds are their classroom, fostering critical thinking strategies, social-emotional skills, and science practices through interactive experiences with museum collections, live animal critter connections, and the natural world.
