During the week, campers will explore the museum and its many exhibits, and also perform many experiments in different areas of science to solve a mystery!! The second week, from June 28th through July 2nd, will be for campers who are 10 through 12 years old. This camp is called “Worlds Within Our World” and runs from 9:00am to 1:00pm each day. Campers will learn about nature's ecosystems and the plants and animals that live in them. Additional activities will involve microscopes, fossil, rocks and minerals. A highlight of the week will be a trip to the Lodi Lake Nature Area. Since this is our first year, Science Summer Camp is only being offered to World of Wonders Science Museum members.
