Summer Camp Overview

At NHMU, we are committed to cultivating lifelong skills in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) investigations that promote independence, nurture teamwork, and inspire resiliency and innovation while providing time to explore the natural world. Our Summer Camps take full advantage of the Museum's exhibits and collections as well as the incredible natural environments around our site.

Give your child the gift of wonder by registering them for NHMU's award-winning Summer Camps, which will help them gain new perspectives, make new friends, explore a wide variety of STEAM fields, and of course, have fun!
