Partner Camp with Clark Planetarium

This session challenges campers to explore some of Earth’s most extreme and hidden environments. Monday and Tuesday, while at NHMU, campers will investigate the ocean’s depths, from sunlit surface waters to the pitch-black deep sea, analyzing how organisms survive and adapt in the intense pressure, near-freezing temperatures, and complete darkness. Through hands-on experiments, and model-building, campers will connect to parts of earth that very few have travelled. Wednesday and Thursday at the Planetarium, campers will expand their exploration beyond Earth by examining extreme environments throughout the solar system. Students will investigate ocean worlds such as Europa and Enceladus, compare space conditions to the deep sea, and learn why astronauts train underwater to prepare for the physical and mental challenges of spaceflight. Through simulations, experiments, and interactive activities, campers will discover how studying Earth’s extremes helps scientists search for life beyond our planet.

Drop off and pick up will take place on Monday & Tuesday at NHMU and at Clark Planetarium on Wednesday & Thursday. No camp on Friday.
