National Museum of Nuclear Science & History to host fall and winter camps for students
The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is hosting camps for fall and winter breaks.
School just started, yet fall break is on the horizon.
Enter the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History.
The museum will host its “Our Science is Everywhere Camps” beginning Oct. 13.
According to Bernadette C. Robin, National Museum of Nuclear Science & History communications director, the camps are open to kindergarten through sixth-grade students and begin at 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with free before and aftercare starting at 7:30 am and ending at 5:30 pm, while Albuquerque Public School students are on fall break.
“Designed to inspire and educate budding scientists and engineers, Our Science is Everywhere Camps help children build teamwork and critical thinking skills with a dose of fun,” Robine said.
Fall Camps will be held on Oct. 13; Nov. 7; Nov. 10; Nov. 20-21.
Winter Break Camps will begin on Dec. 22 and then Dec. 26-28 and Jan. 2-5, 2024.
Early registration is encouraged as camps fill up quickly, Robin said.
“Curious young minds will engage in exploration-based activities led by a staff of trained educators,” Robin said of the camps. “Day camps will capture your child’s attention and inspire critical thinking with research-based educational techniques. Campers will learn by doing science as they explore geology and fossils, forensics, aeronautics, engineering, and many other topics.”
