Sternberg Museum is preparing for its 2015 Summer Science Camps and Programs, designed to immerse first-graders through high school students in the wonders of earth and life science.

Youngsters will explore fossils, reptiles, birds, mammals, plants, rocks and other cool stuff. Be a junior naturalist, paleontologist or biologist. The museum also offers several camps for whole families to explore and enjoy.

Using the spectacular natural history resources of Kansas, the Sternberg Museum education and science staff presents experience-driven lessons and activities that get students directly involved in the process of science. The museum staff will emphasize building knowledge, skills and the mental tools to deal with information and questions in a scientific manner.

Outdoor exploration is at the heart of our science camps and programs. Getting students outside interacting with nature, each other and instructors helps to anchor our lessons with powerful firsthand experiences.
