Kids' camp participants in grades 1-3 can experience one, two, or even up to three days of fun at the Desert Museum this winter.

Each day we will have a special theme such as food webs, reptiles, animal signs, birds, creepy crawlies and more. All camps will include live animal encounters in the classroom. Other fun camp activities may include music, crafts, science experiments, hiking, storytelling, exploring the museum grounds, and behind-the-scenes adventures will be a part of each day.

Have older kids (13 & up)? Check out our Zoo Keeping 101 Class, Dec. 29.

Times:

9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
