SUMMER NATURE CAMP
JUNE 1 - AUGUST 14
9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Studying science and history helps children to know and understand the world around them. The Museum 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.
Monarch butterflies will fill the skies in a mid-morning event, "Wish Upon a Butterfly" at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History. This symbolic event will highlight the elegant monarch, the Texas state insect, and a signature icon of transformation, hope, and awe.

DISCOVERY ROOM
Live snakes, turtles, fish, tarantulas, scorpions, and much more are on display in the Museum's Discovery Room. Taxidermy mounts, rocks, minerals, and children's books make this room a hit with visitors of all ages.
The Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History has served the Brazos Valley in many ways since its founding in 1961. There is no other museum within a 100 mile radius of Bryan and College Station which focuses on natural and cultural history and encourages human interaction with nature.
Occupying 11.29 acres, the park is home to the Turner-Peters log house, an original 1856 structure furnished with 19th century pieces that were typical to the Texas frontier.
