Dinovember
Day Camp
Step into the world of dinosaurs for a day of prehistoric fun! During this one-day camp, young paleontologists will explore the fascinating world of dinosaurs through hands-on activities, creative projects, games, and science-based discovery. From learning about the creatures that once roamed our planet to using their own imaginations to explore the prehistoric past, campers will have plenty of opportunities to dig in, experiment, and get curious.
