Bug Camp is a special 1/2-day science program for young children beginning their discovery of the insect world. Programs are designed for 6-8 and 9-11-year-olds.
The Bug House is an exploration of the fascinating world of insects. A huge exhibit of pinned specimens is just a prelude to the excellent collection of live insects.
Insect World Science Camp is a four day camp for kids 9-12 years of age that focuses exploring and studying insects in their natural environment.
