Paleontology Summer Camp

Paleontology Summer Camp
Only at Paleo Camp can children ages 6-13 visit an active fossil dig site and have the opportunity to dig daily to search for the next great fossil find at Gray Fossil Site. Get a behind-the-scenes tour of the fossil site, preparatory lab, and collections room, and discover your inner scientist. Additional activities include deeper exploration of geosciences, life sciences, and general sciences. Camp attendees will also have the opportunity to explore the museum and experience a private showing of HODC’s Guinness Record setting Tesla Coil Show and tie dye a Hands On! Discovery Center t-shirt. Space is VERY limited to ensure safety, so register early to secure a spot.
