Age Groups / Participants
Two age groups for elementary school children:

The Mystery Begins

What could have happened in a Museum full of Collections to create this puzzle?
Who might want to take something from our Collections?
And what connection could an octopus possibly have with all of this?

Children will have the opportunity to become young investigators, discovering clues and evidence that will lead them to solve the mystery. Through fun and educational activities, they will explore our Collections in a completely new way, in a Museum where every corner and every unique exhibit opens doors to new, unexplored worlds, giving them the chance to uncover the secrets of Earth and life on it.

A Summer Full of Creativity and Discovery

The Museum’s Summer Camp gives children the opportunity to make the most of their summer vacation with creativity and adventure. Through our activities, children develop new skills and interests, forming friendships based on shared curiosity. They experiment and explore areas they don’t usually encounter in their daily life, discovering new aspects of the world around them.

Our Program

Depending on age and chosen week, children will engage with the following scientific and thematic areas:

• Environment and Ecology

• Biodiversity

• Climate Change

• Geology, Biology, Paleontology

• Experiments and STEM activities

• Astronomy

• Food and Food Waste

• …and much more

Daily activities include all Museum Exhibits, impressive Dome screenings, and behind-the-scenes secrets not accessible to regular visitors. Children will enjoy educational programs, STEM activities in collaboration with STEM Education, book presentations, meetings with Museum scientists, and tours of collections and laboratories. In addition, art activities and plenty of play in specially designed, modern, and safe spaces provide the perfect opportunity for socialization and fun.

Join us for a summer full of smiles, learning, and unforgettable experiences at the Goulandris Natural History Museum Summer Camp!
