This Year, Engage Your Child's Mind
Are your kids curious about the world around them? Do they have a million questions about how things work? Our Science is Everywhere Camps at the Nuclear Museum are here to satisfy their curiosity and spark their imaginations! At our camps, we don't just answer questions - we engage children in fun and creative activities that will leave them wanting more.
Students K-6 can register to experience the museum's exciting science and fun STEAM activities. Our education team has divided camp topics into single-day camps with multi-age, collaborative camper experiences from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, with free before-and-after care available from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm.
Day camps run from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Please drop off your camper at 7:30 am and pick up your child on or before 5:30 pm. Late fees apply for campers who have not been picked up by the designated time. Campers should bring two snacks, a lunch, and a refillable water bottle each day they are enrolled.
Single-day camps are $85.00 per session. For questions about Science is Everywhere Camp, please get in touch with our Enrichment Coordinator or the Director of Education, or call 505-245-2137 ext. 134

WINTER 2026 CAMPS
Truth Detectives
Presidents' Day - Truth Detectives invites campers to explore how scientists evaluate evidence and decide what’s true. Through guided investigations and hands-on exploration, students practice asking questions, testing ideas, and recognizing how observations and data can be interpreted. The day emphasizes critical thinking, curiosity, and the idea that scientific understanding grows from evidence, not assumptions.
