Around 110 million years ago, the ground under the Smithsonian was a swampy forest filled with Mesozoic creatures. Junior paleontologists investigate prehistoric eras and the many dinosaurs, pterosaurs, reptiles, mammals, and insects that roamed our backyards long, long ago. They observe 3D-scanned fossils from the Natural History Museum in detail, piece together their own dinosaur skeletons, and trace prehistoric creatures to their natural descendants today.
Smithsonian Adventures and experts at the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center (SEEC) have partnered to make the world of the Smithsonian the perfect destination for young learners. In live, one-hour sessions, SEEC educators lead interactive explorations of objects and artworks in the Smithsonian’s collections that spark art making and experimentation.
Please note: these programs are not developed for children under five.
Registration for this Adventure will close two weeks prior to the first session date. If you are trying to register after that point, please email us at SummerCamp@si.edu and we will do our best to accommodate your request if space is still available.
