KidVentures (Ages 3-6) and Explorers Camp (Ages 7-11)

Young adventurers at Earth Explorers Summer Camp plunge into a thrilling journey through time and space! Set against the backdrop of our natural history museum, campers experience hands-on activities, fossil excavations, and exhibits that bring Earth's history to life. From digging up ancient artifacts to uncovering the mysteries of dinosaurs, every day is an exploration of the wonders that shaped our planet. Led by Burpee’s educators, the camp blends education with excitement, inspiring a love for science and discovery. It's a summer camp experience where curiosity meets adventure, and lifelong memories are unearthed!

This four-day camp will allow students to dig deeper into topics with connected activities across the week. Laboratory experiences will include classroom experiments, lab work in the Burpee’s River lab, the new biology research lab, and the Nature Nook.

Friday (final day) is a parent/guardian open house where participants can show off what they have learned during the week!
