Summer Science Day Camps
Summer Science Discovery Day Camps keep kids learning and having fun throughout the summer. Week-long programs are filled with field trips, exploration outdoors, science experiments, arts and crafts, and games. Programs are available for students entering kindergarten through 8th grade.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Summer Camp Registration opens with a bang on Saturday, April 17th, 2010! From 12:00-4:00 we’ll have open registration, lots of fun things for kids to do, and free admission to the Montana Natural History Center. The first 30 kids who register for camps will receive a free MNHC aluminum water bottle, and everyone who registers for camp in person on April 17th will be entered into a drawing for a FREE week of camp (minus deposit) or a free family membership for MNHC!
Visiting Naturalist in the Schools
The Visiting Naturalist in the Schools program for 4th and 5th grade classrooms brings a naturalist into the classroom every month of the school year with 2 full day field trips to a local natural area. Professional naturalists lead engaging, hands-on activities that meet standards in science education.
Visiting Naturalist After-School Program
Join MNHC Naturalist Alyssa McLean for an adventurous after-school program this April just for students in the Frenchtown schools! The program includes field trips to local natural areas, exploration, fishing, and, of course, FUN! This program is free through a generous donation by the Hellgate Hunters and Anglers. Participants must fill out an application form and return it to the Montana Natural History Center by March 22nd. Registration is confirmed ONLY when you are notified by phone by Alyssa McLean that your child has been accepted into the after-school program.
