Jurassic Explorers Camp July 20th-24th

Young dinosaur enthusiasts will love this week-long adventure at Burritt on the Mountain, where paleontology meets hands-on exploration. Jurassic Explorers Camp combines real science with imaginative play, giving kids ages 5-10 the chance to think like actual scientists while having a blast. Campers will examine cells under microscopes, excavate "dinosaur bones," build erupting volcanoes, and investigate mysterious "dinosaur eggs." The experience extends beyond the classroom as kids hike Burritt's trails searching for limestone formations and fossils hidden in the natural landscape. The camp runs Monday through Friday, July 20-24, 2026, at Burritt on the Mountain. Registration closes on Tuesday, July 14, so families should plan accordingly. While the camp cost isn't listed in the event details, you can find pricing and registration information through Burritt's website. The program is specifically designed for children ages 5-10, with activities scaled to match their natural curiosity and energy levels. This camp strikes a nice balance between structured learning and outdoor exploration. Parents should expect their young paleontologist to come home excited about science concepts they've actually touched and experienced firsthand. The combination of silly crafts and serious investigation keeps the week feeling fun while building genuine STEM skills. Since hiking is part of the program, send your child in comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing for outdoor adventures on Burritt's scenic mountain trails.
