Calling all five-year-olds who are ready for a full-day camp adventure!
From dragons and mermaids to the tortoise and the hare, sort animal fact from fiction in stories from around the world. Many of your favorite legends explain the unexplainable—gigantic bones, funny fangs, and other natural quirks. Discover the science behind the stories and get a peek at some of the weirdest specimens in our museum. Create your own fantastic creatures and act out your own tall tales.
Hi-Fives! camps are recommended for 5-year-olds who have finished a year of full-day kindergarten or full-day childcare.
This camp is a full-day experience set at the best pace for young learners. Fascinating science experiments and nature explorations are interspersed with snacks, rest time, and active play to keep your child engaged all day. Maximum class size is 15 students with a 5:1 child-to-adult ratio.
Please note: Pre-camp and post-camp care are not available for Hi-Fives! campers. Hi-Fives! campers must be picked up by 3:15 p.m.
The last day to register for this camp is June 5, 2024.
