Explore the Wonders of Science and Art at the Hi-Desert Nature Museum’s Summer Camp for Kids
The Hi-Desert Nature Museum is excited to announce its upcoming Summer Camp sessions designed for young creators and innovators ages 6-12.
Camps this year feature two exciting programs that will ignite curiosity and foster a life-long love for learning. All camps run Wednesday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Forces in Focus
The first camp is called “Forces in Focus” – it’s for Ages 9 – 12 and runs from June 26 to the 28.
Young scientists will explore the museum’s interactive summer exhibition “From Here to There” and engage with interactive demonstrations and hands-on experiments that illustrate the fundamental laws of physics. Learn how scientists and engineers defy gravity and harness the power of energy and motion to make things move. This program offers a dynamic learning experience that will have campers design, build, and test their own speed machines through fun physics-based challenges and games. It’s a perfect blend of education and excitement that will make the laws of physics come alive!
“Forces in Focus” us for for Ages 9 – 12 and runs from June 26 to the 28
Canvas of Curiosity Camp
Unleash your creativity while investigating the wonders of the natural world in the “Canvas of Curiosity” camp.
This program combines art and biology in unique ways to encourage students to observe and appreciate the elegance and beauty of life around them. Budding naturalists will study the geology, plants, and animals of the Morongo Basin ecosystem, and then express their discoveries through various art forms, including collage, drawing and painting. Campers will create original masterpieces inspired by the intricate designs and vibrant colors found in the desert environment in this program that aims to nurture artistic skill and creativity while fostering a deeper understanding and respect for the splendor of the natural world.
