The camp offers a unique opportunity for children to engage directly with the California Academy of Sciences' exhibits and experts, focusing on real-world environmental challenges and solutions.
The California Academy of Sciences Summer Camp offers week-long sessions for children ages 9-11, focusing on reimagining ways to protect, restore, and enhance nature throughout San Francisco. Each week features a different future-focused theme with hands-on, experiential, and play-based activities. Campers will engage in STEM and art activities, exploring concepts like biomimicry and local habitats. They will gain a first-hand look at Academy careers that utilize art and science for environmental regeneration. Activities include investigating natural designs, exploring how animal and plant structures inspire human innovation, deepening connections to San Francisco's vital habitats through immersive experiences, and collaborating on designs for sustainable cities where human-made spaces blend with nature.
A typical day involves hands-on STEM and art activities, immersive experiences exploring local habitats, and learning from experts in environmental regeneration.
This camp is best for children aged 9-11 who are curious about nature, enjoy hands-on activities, and are interested in exploring innovative ways to protect and enhance the environment.
