Overview

4-day Camp For Students Entering Grades 2-3 in Fall 2026

Campers will immerse themselves in a fossil-filled adventure at this terrific summer camp! They’ll dig into the fascinating realm of paleontology, where they’ll team up with their fellow campers to think and act like true paleontologists. Campers will also travel to the Grand Rapids Public Museum to explore real fossil specimens and exhibits. It’s a journey of exploration and discovery that promises fun, excitement, and a deeper understanding of our planet’s history!
