Travel around the world this summer at Miami Children’s Museum’s (MCM) Explorers Summer Camp!
Each week, beginning Monday, June 12, through Friday, Aug. 25, campers will visit a different global destination and develop new skills through fun and unique art activities, dance, cooking and field trips. Campers, ages 4-10, will learn in a fun and safe environment as they explore the museum from top to bottom developing new interests and friends, and discover what happened to the dinosaurs while experiencing the new interactive exhibit, Dino Island.
Campers will experience a weekly journey, all within a safe hands-on learning environment. Each week, camp explorers will visit a different area of the world through interactive stories, hands-on projects, performances, and more. Campers will participate in fun and unique activities that support literacy, health and nutrition, art, music and creative thinking skills.
Complementing the weekly themes, campers will explore the museum’s galleries as well as participate in off-site field trips to fully immerse them in the culture, art, food and music of each destination on their summer journey.
