The day camp begins in July. Preschoolers can explore creepy-crawlies, take a jungle journey or discover animal noises. Older kids can pick classes that focus on animal homes, airborne creatures and zoo careers that includes a field trip to Moorpark College. Zoo Camp sessions start in June and run until the end of August. 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.
