Get ready for a summer filled with big ideas, creative messes, and plenty of “whoa, did you see that?” moments. Lincoln Children’s Museum (lincolnchildrensmuseum.org) is bringing back its popular week-long summer camps, where kids dive into hands-on adventures that mix STEM exploration with imagination and play. This camp series includes 10 weeks of opportunities to get involved.
Designed for children ages 5 to 12, each themed week invites campers to experiment, build, test ideas, and see what happens next. Some days might involve coding challenges or engineering builds. Other days could mean digging into dinosaur discoveries or creating art that moves and surprises.
“Camp Play gives kids the freedom to explore how things work and figure it out for themselves,” said Ellie Charter, Chief Marketing Officer at Lincoln Children’s Museum. “Through hands-on STEM experiments, they get to ask questions, test their ideas, and discover that sometimes the best learning happens when you try something, adjust, and try again.”
Campers spend their days moving between exploring all three levels of the Museum, collaborating with new friends, and discovering just how fun learning can be when curiosity leads the way.
Registration for Camp Play is now open, and spots fill quickly each summer. Families can learn more about weekly themes and register at lincolnchildrensmuseum.org/programs.
