Enjoy Summer Camps at the Museum! Camps create lasting friendships and memories through hands-on, minds-on activities and exploration. Unearth fossils, learn about different cultures and meet fascinating members of the animal world.
Presently, the Florida Museum is still planning on hosting summer camps this year. If any sessions are canceled due to academic calendar changes, we will issue a full refund. Contact classes@floridamuseum.ufl.edu for more information.
Camps are designed for students enrolled in grades 1-4 for the 2020-2021 school year. Field Camp is for grades 5-6. Lep Camp is for grades 5-8. Students should dress for outdoor activities and full-day students should bring a sack lunch.
Pre-registration is required. Registration for members begins March 1 and open registration begins March 15. Registration for each camp closes the Thursday before.
