CMON Clubs

CMON Clubs are new after-school programs that provide elementary-aged children with hands-on STEM experiences, creative exploration, and opportunities to build friendships in a museum environment.

Designed for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade, our after-school enrichment programs encourage curiosity, problem-solving, collaboration, and confidence through interactive projects led by CMON’s experienced educators.

*NEW for Fall 2026! CMON Clubs begin in September and run through December 2026.

Discover even more hands-on learning opportunities by exploring CMON’s full lineup of educational programs.

      Advance registration is required, and space is limited to ensure a safe, high-quality learning experience. Each session is capped at just 20 students to maintain optimal staff-to-student ratios and maximize engagement.
