Summer Nature Camp 2009

An educational experience awaits your child at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History’s annual Summer Nature Camps! Studying science and history helps children to know and understand the world around them.

The Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History offers your child this opportunity in a safe, fun, and educational setting. Through non-traditional teaching techniques, campers are encouraged to explore science, animal behavior, history, and their local environment using interactive lessons and educational games and crafts.

Our facilities include classroom areas, the Discovery Room, and a 40-acre park with nature trail, all of which will be used to enhance your child's learning experience.

Our staff members are experienced teachers and, to ensure personalized instruction, classes are kept small, with a teacher to student ratio of 1:10. Of course, this means classes fill quickly, so you will want to register soon!

Session Information

Each session lasts one week, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Campers are divided by age groups (4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-12).
