Drop-Off Summer Camps at Minnesota Children's Museum


*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 08/04/2022
We’re partnering with The Works Museum to bring some of their favorite summer camps to Minnesota Children’s Museum this summer! Designed for kids ages 6 to 8, each camp is led by an expert educator from The Works Museum. Camps will explore science and engineering concepts with hands-on topics like robotics, carpentry, space travel, architecture and more. Each week-long camp will run Monday through Thursday, with sessions available in the morning and afternoon. Registration is open and classes are expected to fill quickly.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
