Charlotte Nature Museum Camps are a real hoot!

From pre-k to rising grade 5, kids will discover amazing critters and natural treasures in a fun safe learning environment. Each camp offers a unique immersive experience as junior curators explore the outdoors, conduct experiments, meet live animals and more!


Information and Policies

Registration Members: Opens Tomorrow and non-Members: February 8, 2012.

Camps fill fast!

Cancellation Policy (all the fine print stuff we have to say):

A cancellation notice of 3 weeks is required for a full refund. Camps with low enrollment 3 weeks prior to the start date are subject to cancellation. If cancellation occurs, you will be notified and given the opportunity to select another Camp or receive a refund.

Where do I go? What do I do?

Charlotte Nature Museum is located at 1658 Sterling Road, Charlotte, 28209. Park in the Museum’s parking lot (it’s free)!

Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the start of Camp. On the first day of Camp guardians should escort Campers to the Museum’s entrance for a brief ‘meet ‘n’ greet’ with Summer Camp staff. For the remaining days of Camp a carpool drop-off/ pick-up system will be used. And, the pick-up location is the same as the drop off location, how easy is that, hooray?

What do I Pack?

Pack a nut-free snack if you’re staying for a half-day Camp and lunch if you’re lucky enough to stay for a full-day Camp; and an easy-to-open and close drink bottle.

What do I Wear?

Wear comfy clothes that say “Hey, I’m ready to dig in the dirt, meet live animals, learn to lead and play!
