The camp offers an unparalleled educational adventure within the American Museum of Natural History, providing direct access to world-class exhibits, scientific specimens, and expert educators.
The American Museum of Natural History's Science Investigations Summer Program offers a week-long immersive experience for children entering Kindergarten through 5th grade. Led by expert Museum educators, campers engage in hands-on science activities, fostering a sense of wonder for the natural world. Students participate in the scientific process by asking questions, making observations, collecting evidence, and drawing conclusions to gain new perspectives on our planet and beyond. Activities include learning in state-of-the-art classrooms, exploring the Museum's renowned halls and exhibits, meeting Museum scientists and experts, and getting close-up looks at Museum collections and even live animals. The program aims to spark curiosity, foster a deep understanding of natural sciences, and inspire the next generation of explorers and critical thinkers through dynamic and diverse activities that blend experiential learning with direct access to the Museum's vast resources.
A typical day begins around 9:00 AM with campers gathering in their designated classroom for an introductory activity or discussion related to the day's theme, followed by guided explorations of the museum halls and engaging hands-on science projects.
This camp is ideal for curious elementary-aged children (K-5) who are eager to explore natural sciences, engage in hands-on investigations, and discover the wonders of the natural world within a world-class museum setting.
