The Museum’s 25th annual summer camp presents diverse approaches to learning in the creative environment of a museum. Educators, scientists, historians, artists, and counselors work together to provide campers with fun, educational activities. Each day, campers explore the Museum through Time Tunnel themes, play games outdoors, use the computer lab, and swim at the Lincoln Park Pool.

Session 1:   Where Are They Now? Extinct & De-funked! (July 2-3, 5-6 & July 9-13)
From dinosaurs to dodo’s, to long-lost languages, fossils, and outdated gizmos and gadgets, join Museum staff as we explore things that have disappeared!

Session 2:   The Glory of Stories! (July 16-27)
People love to tell and listen to stories. Join us as we explore the Museum for stories from different times and places. Campers will share their own stories and photos as we explore some unusual destinations in and around New York.

Session 3:   Greatest Hits! The Best of Time Tunnel’s 25 Years! (July 30-August 10)
Time Tunnel is 25 years old this summer, so we will revisit some of our most popular programs from a quarter century of camp! Help us create a Time Tunnel Time Capsule for our 25th Anniversary and get your dancing shoes on as we close out the session with a Time Tunnel Dance Party!
