August 30-September 3
Pre-register by August 16

Ages 5-7
Dynamic Dinosaurs

Did dinosaurs really become extinct over 65 million years ago? Discover what characteristics make an animal a dinosaur. What kind of world did they live in? Would they survive today? How has our knowledge of dinosaurs changed as scientists continue to make new discoveries? Play the role of paleontologist and have fun “digging” into dinosaurs in this interactive camp.
WE ARE NO LONGER TAKING REGISTRATIONS FOR THIS CAMP.
 

Ages 8-12
Paleontology “Plus”

Before you think you’ve “outgrown” dinosaurs, give the field of paleontology a chance to surprise you with a travel through time. Examine techniques used to not only excavate fossils, but also develop scientific theories that apply to ancient life beyond dinosaurs. Discover how fossils found in New York were one of the original ways used to date rocks? Why aren’t there dinosaur fossils in New York?  Paleontology is an endless source of exploration and fascination.
THIS CAMP HAS SOLD OUT. We are no longer taking registrations.
