The Lutz Children’s Museum offers a summer day camp for elementary aged students running from early-July to mid-August! This exciting and unique experience takes campers on an adventure to investigate the natural features right here in Connecticut.
At Oak Grove Nature Camp, your camper has the opportunity to explore and thrive in a natural environment. An experienced museum educator will lead campers through science experiments, art projects, and wildlife encounters to foster a sense of wonder about the outside world. Each day begins with hands-on and inquiry based learning activities that are student-centered. Afternoons are devoted to playtime, nature exploration, and field trips.
We start on July 8th, 2019. Hours each day are from 8:30AM to 3:00PM, except on Fridays when we return from field trips at 5:00 PM.
The Oak Grove Nature Center offers fifty-two acres of land with trails, a pond, covered bridge, and a teaching building. The distance from Lutz Children’s Museum to the Oak Grove Nature Center is 1.5 miles.
