CAMPS

Camp at CMON promotes discovery and experiential learning through daily STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities. Campers imagine, design, and connect to the world around them. Ignite your child’s curiosity and fuel their learning.

Each day features some of our campers’ favorite activities like creating works of art, testing scientific skills, making new friends, and more! Campers spend time playing in the Museum and have exclusive access to CMON on Wednesday.

Summer Break Camps

Age Range: Grades K-5

Drop-off between 8:15 – 8:45 a.m. and pick up by 5p.m.

In 2023, CMON will be offering 3 classrooms for Summer Campers every week. Groupings will be assigned based on the age and ability of the children registered for the week’s theme. Children turning 5 years old (by June 1, 2023) up to 5th grade are able to register for each week of camp. Every classroom will participate in multiple age-appropriate STEAM based lessons, museum exploration times, and snacks daily. CMON camps are always focused on playful learning experiences that are hands-on, inquiry based, and child centered.

The Littles classroom will also focus on early elementary skills including peer to peer communication skills, creating routines, self control and increased control of fine and large motor skills.
The Middles classroom will encourage campers in friend making, cooperation, and deeper knowledge of science, engineering, and art skills.
The Bigs classroom is a place for our oldest campers to find their creativity, healthy social skills with peers, practice their individuality, and take a bit more time on detailed projects based on their thoughts and ideas.
