Summer Camps and Classes
The Animal Trainer's Lab: From Fish to Iguanas
June 22-26
Spend a week working with real museum animals as zoologists explore reptiles, amphibians, fish, and river invertebrates. Campers learn how animals evolved, how they live in the wild, and how museums care for them in captivity, then design habitats, enrichment, and training plans to improve animal well-being. The week concludes with a family showcase where campers present their work.
Prehistoric Minds: Training the Modern Dragons
July 20- July 24
How is a modern turtle like one that swam with dinosaurs? What can ancient reptiles teach us about the iguanas in our care today? Prehistoric Minds blends paleontology and zoology to explore how evolution shapes behavior and survival. Students investigate fossil animals, analyze adaptations, and then examine living counterparts at the museum. This class builds scientific thinking, comparison skills, and evolutionary understanding — ending with a final showcase of deep-time discoveries.
