Camps

February 20–23; 9 a.m.–3 p.m.* (Tuesday–Friday)

Campers chill out with fun science experiments, games, and hands-on activities during Winter Break Camp. Kids explore states of matter by turning liquids into solids and investigate adaptations that allow plants and animals to survive cold, icy winters. They warm up with visits to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory’s tropical and desert collections to compare the plants growing in these environments.
