Only at Paleo Camp can children ages 6-12 visit an active fossil dig site and have the opportunity to dig daily to search for the next great fossil find.  Get a behind-the-scenes tour of the fossil site, preparatory lab, and collections room, and discover your inner scientist.  Additional activities include deeper exploration of geosciences, life sciences, and general sciences.  Camp attendees will also have the opportunity to explore the museum and experience a private showing of HODC’s Guinness Record holding Tesla Coil Show and tie dye a Hands On! tee shirt. Space is VERY limited to ensure safety, register early to secure a spot. 

All attendees MUST pre-register.  We are unable to accommodate walk-ups.

Ages: Campers MUST be 6 years old by June 1, 2025, and no older than 12 years old on July 30, 2025.

Late pick-up is available between 4:30 and 5:30pm.

HODC received grant funding from GSK to support extended programming for 2025 summer camps and therefore late pick-up is at no cost for this year.  Space is limited.  GSK’s Be a Health Scientist! program invites children to take the role of scientists and engineers as they investigate problems related to human health and well-being. The activities encourage scientific practices like making observations and testing hypotheses.
