Treat your kids to the best summer of their lives by enrolling them in one of the coolest camps on Earth.

The Manitoba Museum’s Discovery Day Camp is only place in town where kids get to learn about archaeology, science, space, geology, paleontology, animals, and the environment-all under one roof!

Discovery Day Camp registration also includes planetarium shows, live science demonstrations, scavenger hunts and free time in the Museum galleries, plus Science Gallery visits.

The Museum’s qualified, friendly counsellors lead children age six to 12 (children must have completed Grade One). Themes differ in alternate weeks, allowing campers to come for two one-week sessions. Typical camper-to-leader ratio is 7 to 1.

Day Camps run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, although drop-off as early as 8 a.m. and pick-up as late as 5 p.m. can be accommodated.

The Discovery Day Camp begins on July 5^th, and runs throughout the summer. The last week of the camp begins on August 30^th.
