Earth Camp is back in 2025!
Earth Camp is for adventurous kids, 8-13 years old who love science!
Earth Camp takes place at the Staten Island Museum on the grounds of Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens. Campers will study pond life, investigate animal tracks, and learn about entomology (the study of insects). Over the course of two weeks, Kids will explore the local wetlands and woodlands with walking trips to nearby green spaces. In the afternoons, campers will spend time indoors building science skills and connecting with the natural world through the Museum’s collections and hands on STEAM activities. Each camper will receive their own field discovery kit and keep a scientific journal to record daily observations.
Snug-Harbor is also able to assist with After-Camp care for students who need to be picked up after 3pm. For more information on After-Camp care, please click here
In addition to the Staten Island Museum’s Earth camp, the Staten Island Museum also hosts STEM Matters NYC spring break and summer camps. For more information on these camps and to sign up, please visit STEMMattersNYC website (link https://nycdoe.campintouch.com/ui/forms/application/camper/App ) or email [email protected].
