Inquisitive kids can learn more about Alberta’s history with Summer Camps at the Royal Alberta Museum! Each week-long camp offers opportunities to discover all things wild, try out ancient technology, and dig into the rich cultural and natural history of our province.
Summer Camps at the Royal Alberta Museum are open to kids aged seven to twelve. Camp days will be spent exploring all their favourite museum exhibits and beyond! Not only will they get to see all the sparkly rocks, live bugs, dinos, and wildlife dioramas they know and love, but campers will also enjoy an in-depth look at how RAM operates. Days will be spent learning from the museum experts with behind-the-scenes activities, hands-on exploration of REAL museum objects and specimens, gallery storytelling, and plenty of crafts and games!
