We’re hosting five days of science adventure at Tellus Science Museum!

This isn’t your average classroom; it’s a hands-on STEM escape designed to turn curious kids into real scientists during our one-week Explorer Camps. With a different theme to explore each week, every session offers a brand-new discovery.

Roll up your sleeves and sharpen your observation skills as you practice crime scene investigation one week, or master the art of collaboration by creating your own museum exhibit the next. From cracking the code to using creativity to engineer solutions to wild challenges, our junior scientists will tackle different adventures all summer long.

Come help us prove that the most powerful force in the universe is a curious mind!

FORENSIC FRENZY: OH NO! WHO STOLE THE GOLD?

Explorers will view a simulated crime scene and conduct laboratory experiments to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Explorers will practice crime scene investigation using fingerprinting, blood analysis, and evidence collection.
