Colors of Nature Camp - Entering Grades 5-7
July 9-13, 2018
Join scientists and educators from the Desert Museum and National Optical Astronomy Observatory as we explore the colors of nature through art and science! Learn about why flowers have the colors they do, how bees see, and make original art using chemistry and optics. This camp is a combination art studio and science lab, where microscopes and paintbrushes work side by side as we investigate and create a colorful world. See website for scholarship application. $250 Non-members, $225 Members
Laurel Clark Earth Camp - Entering Grades 8-9
June 25-29, 2018
Not all science happens in a laboratory. This summer spend some time in the great outdoors exploring what it might be like to become a botanist, zoologist or geologist. This camp includes two overnight camp outs (Monday and Wednesday nights) and time at the museum, in the desert, at a lake, on a mountain top and underwater (in a pool as we learn to scuba dive). Hands-on field research will allow students a real world experience in learning about the natural world and developing a passion to preserve and protect it. See website for scholarship application. $375 Non-members; $345 Members
