Jurassic Explorers Camp June 8th-12th

Your young paleontologist will be in their element at Jurassic Explorers Camp, a week-long adventure that brings the age of dinosaurs to life through hands-on science and outdoor exploration. Campers dive into the world of prehistoric creatures by examining fossil specimens, digging for "dinosaur bones," investigating mysterious "dinosaur eggs," and learning to distinguish a T. rex tail bone from a Stegosaurus. The camp balances serious science—like using microscopes to explore cells—with creative fun, including building an erupting volcano and crafting silly dinosaur-themed projects that kids love. Running June 8-12, 2026, at Burritt on the Mountain, the camp welcomes children ages 5-12 for daily sessions that blend indoor learning with outdoor discovery. Young explorers will hike Burritt's scenic trails in search of limestone "pancakes" and real fossils, making the most of the mountain's natural landscape. Families need to register by Tuesday, June 2, 2026, though specific cost and daily timing details are available through Burritt's registration portal. This camp works particularly well for elementary-aged children who love asking "why" and "how" about the natural world. The mix of scientific investigation and imaginative play keeps both kindergarteners and older kids engaged throughout the week. Parents should check Burritt's website for what to pack, drop-off logistics, and any outdoor gear recommendations for the hiking portions of the day.
