Science Summer Camps At Home

Science Summer Camps At Home
 

Museum education and outreach staff are excited to invite you to our free Science Summer Camp at Home program! The KU Natural History Museum continues to be closed because of the university’s response to the coronavirus, but we are committed to bringing you and your family quality science programs – online! All Science Summer Camp at Home events occur in your home – all you need is a computer and an internet connection. You do not need to have a Facebook account to view the videos. Instructional guides are available for selected activities so you can review the activities, then connect with education and outreach staff online for all the science fun! 

You can participate in our free online camps anytime, 24/7, by clicking on the camp links below or visit our Facebook videos tab to access camp videos for Science-PALOOZA or Expedition: Forest Floor. Join us on Thursday, July 30 on Facebook for the debut of Forensic Fun: Wildlife Forensics camp! 

Please send us photos of your camp experiences, along with any science questions you have - we'd love to see your work!
