The Adventures in Nature Summer Science Classes have something for all age groups. Older kids can learn about rain forests, arctic animals, dinosaurs and sea horses. Sessions run from June to August. Even the most indifferent child should find something of excitement at the Hands-On Science Camp at the California Science Center. More than 35 summer classes run the gamut from conservation and physics to life sciences.
Kids can become junior astronauts, model airplane builders and weather watchers.
Various workshops will feature fossil hunting in the tar pits, where they can learn more about mammoths, saber-toothed cats and other prehistoric creatures. Watch out Miss Piggy and Kermit. The program will give kids a chance to create their own puppet characters as well as view special screenings of vintage Henson programs. Weekend sessions, which run from July to August, are held mornings. Kids will discover a watery world at their fingertips when they participate in a Science at the Seashore extended workshop this summer.
