Nature Museum Camps
The Nature Museum offers camps during local school vacation weeks in February and April, as well as during the summer.
2013 SUMMER CAMPS!
Thursdays are Discovery Days at The Nature Museum! Join us as we explore the forests, fields, ponds and streams of Grafton. Through engaging hands-on games and explorations, each week we will discover a new aspect of the natural world.
This camp is designed to be flexible, to suit your busy summer schedule. You can join us for a one-week visit or become a full-fledged Nature Museum Junior Naturalist and attend all eight weeks. Discovery Days will be offered on Thursdays from June 27 through August 22.
