Spark Curiosity this Summer

Keep your future scientists, engineers and paleontologists engaged and entertained this summer. Science Museum summer camps provide hours of discovery, wonder and hands-on experiences you just can’t get anywhere else.

Like good scientists, we’re always learning! This year, we’ve added new themes, enhanced STEM activities and updated procedures to ensure everyone’s experience is out of this world.

2026 summer camp details will be released in January.
