• Each camp week comes with a kit of supplies for the daily activities. Kits will include enough materials for one camper – but can be shared with other campers in the household. Additional kits are available for an add-on fee. Kits will be available for pick-up at the museum on the Friday before the camps week starts from 6 – 7 p.m.
• Camp activities are designed with parents in mind. Activities are intended to be completed with virtual assistance from museum educators and require little parental oversight.
• Activities are hands-on and mostly mess-free.

Schedule: Materials pick-up: June 12 (6-7 p.m.); Materials drop-off: June 19 (6-7 p.m.)
