Desert Museum Camps
To the desert and beyond! Our engaging camps will explore the Sonoran Desert region’s diverse land, sea, animals, and plants. Campers will explore every nook and cranny of the Museum as they use science to make their own desert discoveries, observe live animals up close, create art, and chill out in our Packrat Playhouse.
What to Wear
Campers will be participating in a variety of activities that involve running, jumping, playing, and maybe even getting a little messy. Campers must wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Check the daily weather and send your camper dressed accordingly.
What to Bring to Camp
Bring daily, packed in a backpack or other easily carried bag:
- Full refillable water bottle
- Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
- Packed snack & lunch
