Here's some examples of our camps designed for second and third graders:

  • Adventures in Science — Join us for a week of camp adventures! Morning activities at Camp K will include hiking, rock climbing, fishing, swimming, spending time with the horses and playing field games. Afternoons will be spent with Museum educators, investigating forensic science—from analyzing finger, lip and footprints to extracting DNA, examining microbes and inspecting chromatography.
  • Science Adventure Class: Engineering and Robotics — Using use a wide variety of materials and tools to investigate size and design, campers will discover which shapes make the strongest structures. They’ll also be exploring simple and complex machines. Once these basics are understood, we’ll put that new knowledge to work completing team challenges using VEX IQ robotic components.
  • The Ultimate Camp Experience — If you can only attend one camp this summer, make it this one! Join us for a week of signature camp activities where each day finds campers at a different location with new experiences. While at Camp Kostopulos students will enjoy ropes courses, spending time with the horses, rock climbing, and fishing. At Red Butte Garden, campers will have a plethora of garden adventures while exploring everything from plants to insects. At This is the Place we’ll investigate Utah's past pioneer history through train rides, panning for gold, and pioneer activities. Discover and meet some of the animals that call Utah’s Hogle Zoo. And, while at the Natural History Museum of Utah, explore the Museum and our collections while participating in hands-on science. One week has never been so exciting!
  • Girls Only LEGO® STEM Challenge — Explore engineering from the ground up! Mornings will be spent investigating LEGO® building systems with Play-Well staff, applying real-world concepts in physics, engineering, and architecture through engineer-designed projects such as catapults and arch bridges. With the guidance of Museum staff, campers will explore simple and complex machines each afternoon. They’ll then put that new knowledge to work as they complete team challenges using VEX IQ robotic components. Camper drop off and pick up takes place at NHMU.
