Campers engage with real scientists, live animals, and behind-the-scenes access to museum research, providing an unparalleled immersive science experience.
At the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences STEM Summer Camp, campers transform into scientists, explorers, artists, and inventors through engaging, hands-on, science-centered experiences. The camp fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking through interactive activities. Campers may examine fossils with paleontologists, build gliders to experiment with flight, or investigate marine life using real research tools. Programs are designed to bring science to life, covering topics from zoology and entomology to coding video games and designing space rovers. The camp also offers live animal encounters, behind-the-scenes tours, and unique lab-based experiments, deepening campers' connection to the natural world and fostering a lifelong love for science. Whether exploring ecosystems, the science of food, or space exploration, campers gain knowledge and confidence.
Each camp day is filled with interactive activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, including indoor and outdoor time, structured learning, and free play.
The ideal student is a curious middle schooler eager to explore the natural world and STEM concepts through hands-on activities and real-world scientific experiences.
