Event Description

Join us August 10-14 for an exciting week of Academy Explorers Summer Camp.

This week's theme is Bugstravaganza. Journey deep into the dirt and observe the world from a bug’s point of view. Plus, get up close and personal with some real live creepy crawlies!

FIELD TRIP: Visit a garden paradise, right here in Philadelphia. Explore the grounds, find out the importance of bees, and learn the basics of beekeeping.
Take a virtual trip around the world while never leaving the museum, and discover the insects and arachnids found on different continents.
Design and build your own “bug” to display in our campers-only “Bugstravaganza Ball.”
Who’s feeling buggy? Play games to determine the difference between insect and human senses.
