camps
CML camps provide important educational enrichment opportunities through PLAY during school breaks: Spring Break Camp, Summer Camp, and Winter Wonderland Camp! Children ages 5 – 7 engage in developmentally appropriate, hands-on STEAM activities (that include science, engineering, math, literacy, and the arts) built around exciting weekly themes. Campers explore the Museum’s hands-on experiences, developing their communication, problem-solving, and creativity skills.
CML campers forge friendships as they work on collaborative projects and unlock their potential as they tackle fun mental and physical challenges. Every day of camp delivers unique experiences that keep children learning through PLAY!

Except when Active Refund Protection is purchased, cancellations made two weeks or more prior to the first day of camp are eligible for a CML credit.
