Earth is our only home for now, but that could be changing soon.  According to NASA, astronauts might land on Mars to explore it as early as the 2030s. 

For centuries, people have wondered about other planets and what we might find there if we visited them.  If you were suddenly transported to an unknown, alien world, how would you survive?  What’s the first thing you would do?  How would you make use of any raw materials your planet has?  Should you even go, or would it be too dangerous?  If we did go, would we just end up damaging the planet?

In this summer camp, you will come up with ideas that could answer these questions.  You will conduct experiments, make crafts, and learn what it might be like to be among the first to step on another planet.

For students entering grades 3rd - 5th grade

Drop-off for camps is from 8:30-9:00 and pick-up is from 3:00-3:30.

Did you know that bats live in Kansas?  What do you think bats do in our native habitats, and where is the best place to find them?  There are a few different species native to Kansas, and part of what makes these animals mysterious is the fact that they are nocturnal.  Being nocturnal creatures, though, makes them a unique piece of the ecological puzzle.

There are also myths and misconceptions about bats - think vampire bats! - that leads to misunderstandings about these animals.  In this JAM, we will learn what makes these animals unique and beneficial to their habitats and to humans.

Let’s go camping! Set up tents, tell stories around the “campfire,” and go on a nature hunt—for a wonderful adventure!

Have you ever found a fossil? Were you able to identify it? Before fossils were formally studied only hundreds of years ago, someone may have identified your fossil as a preserved dragon bone or even a bolt of lightning turned to stone! 

We’ve come a long way in our understanding of what fossils are, where we can find them, and what they can tell us about Earth’s past environments. In this paleontology summer camp, we will explore ancient organisms and the environments they lived in. You will learn where to find fossils and how to tell, just by looking at how well preserved it is, how the plant or animal may have died. We will also learn about some of the most famous fossil-finding sites in the world, as well as how to dig for fossils yourself.

Anybody up for some ice cream? Following the steps in this activity, you can make your own. July is a great time to enjoy some cold, refreshing ice cream. As with any kind of cooking and food making, there is science involved. There are chemical changes that happen when making ice cream, such as changes of state and the effect of adding substances that lower the freezing temperature of water. And in the end, you get to eat your science!

Mix, blend, and discover the magic of colors! From rainbows to patterns, we’ll explore how colors brighten up our world.

Learning about oceans and ocean weather might sound strange given that we are in the middle of the country, but you may remember that Kansas was covered by an ocean multiple times. We have only fossils left to tell us about our ancient marine past, but there are plenty of modern oceans around the world to study.

In this oceanography camp, we’ll learn what makes ocean environments unique from land environments and how vitally important oceans are to life all around the planet. Approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in oceans, so it’s not difficult to imagine the impact they have, whether it’s hurricanes causing damage on coastlines, waves shaping huge rock structures, or plankton releasing oxygen. You will also learn about the impacts humans have made on oceans and what ocean scientists are doing to try and protect them for future generations.

Learning about oceans and ocean weather might sound strange given that we are in the middle of the country, but you may remember that Kansas was covered by an ocean multiple times. We have only fossils left to tell us about our ancient marine past, but there are plenty of modern oceans around the world to study.

In this oceanography camp, we’ll learn what makes ocean environments unique from land environments and how vitally important oceans are to life all around the planet. Approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in oceans, so it’s not difficult to imagine the impact they have, whether it’s hurricanes causing damage on coastlines, waves shaping huge rock structures, or plankton releasing oxygen. You will also learn about the impacts humans have made on oceans and what ocean scientists are doing to try and protect them for future generations.

For students entering grades K - 2nd grade

Drop-off for camps is from 8:30-9:00 and pick-up is from 3:00-3:30.

When you think of a wetland (maybe a marsh, swamp, or small creek flowing from a pond), what living things come to mind?  Most of you can probably name a few large animals and at least one or two plants.  Did you know, though, that these large living organisms actually depend on tiny, even microscopic, plants and animals to survive.  Without them, a wetland would not function the way it does.

In this natural science JAM, you will each be given some sampling tools for collecting specimens in our creek water behind the museum.  You’ll observe your “catch” through microscopes and learn about the amazing tiny things swimming in the creek!

Dive into ocean fun! From fish to coral, we’ll explore marine life and create splashy, sea-inspired crafts.

What makes something living vs. nonliving?  The answer is probably harder to pin down than you think.  In fact, there are still biologists today that debate over this question.  This is just one of the questions you will attempt to answer as you learn about the different living organisms around the world.  Closer to home, there is a variety of life just behind the museum in our wetland and prairie habitats to observe and study.  

In this biology camp, we will learn what makes the Earth so unique from any other planet we know of (so far): its huge abundance of life.  From the tiniest bacterium, to blue whales, to a network of fungi that spreads for miles around its center of growth, the Earth is full of life.  You will take a close look at organisms, both past and present, that can be found just in and around our museum.  You will learn how to identify them as well as learn what they can tell us about our environment.

Think of the last picture of a plant or an animal you saw in a book - was it a photograph or a drawing?  We are all used to seeing images of nature through photographs in our books, magazines, and videos.  Photography is a pretty young field, and early scientists couldn’t simply pull out a phone and snap a picture!  So, how did they record the tiny details of natural objects?  In this natural history JAM, we’ll take a look at some of the earliest drawings, even from ancient Roman and Greek times, of plants and animals these early scientists made.  We will also go on our own exploration along the wetlands trail to find objects to sketch.

Journey through history as we learn about the Native American tribes of Kansas! Little explorers will discover their traditions, stories, and daily life through hands-on activities and engaging storytelling.

We are now in the dog days of summer, the hottest part of the year.  It is no surprise, then, that the noisy cicadas you’re hearing are called dog day cicadas!  These are fascinating insects, and their calls seem to instantly bring warm summer evenings to mind.  There are several species that fall into this group - and did you know that you and actually identify the different species by their song?

In this JAM, you will learn how and why cicadas make their calls and how they can be so loud!  We’ll test our knowledge of cicada calls and walk along the wetlands trail for observation…possibly even handling.  (They are harmless!)
