Smithsonian Summer Camp: From Foot to Flight

Mon.-Wed., July 1-3, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

For children entering grades 3-5

Follow the path that took humans from traveling by foot to traveling into space. At the Natural History Museum campers learn how humans and animals moved together. At the American History Museum, they see early trains in all their glory and consider what set the basic automobile in motion. Then they’re off to the Air and Space Museum to find out who was responsible for getting us into the air. Campers walk through a section of Skylab, study the International Space Station, and explore rockets that got us into space.

They’ll learn about the Mesozoic animals and plants of Africa, South America, India, Australia and Antarctica. They will be introduced to plate tectonics, species variation, and plant types through field trips, game simulations, documentaries, and discussion. Campers complete a diorama board, paint a figure for Dinosaur Safari and use old CDs to create a swamp, forest, or scrub terrain to take home. They also visit the Natural History Museum’s Dinosaur Hall and the Botanical Garden for inspiration.

Each camp session is led by two experienced instructors, who are assisted by two high school volunteers.
