Spring Break Camps

When school is out, it’s time to play!

Designed to engage and entertain children, these one-day camps offer a variety of hands-on activities and educational adventures. From artistic projects to science experiments, there’s something to spark imagination and excitement in every child.

Spring Break Camps this year are designed for children in Kindergarten through 4th grade. Registration is $50 and offers three hours of special playtime in our exhibits and museum educator-led activities. For more details about all of our camps, check out the FAQ on our camps page.
