2024 Summer Camp
Rising 1st Graders – Rising 9th Graders
All year long, kids are counting down the days till summer break. That’s why Tallahassee Museum is offering our yearly Summer Camp program to let kids be kids this summer! Led by our experienced educators, Tallahassee Museum Summer Camp offers an array of different activities for children ages to enjoy. Our team approach implements creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication into each day’s lesson plan. From encounters with wildlife to exploring cultural heritage, your child will have an enriching camp experience at the Museum.
For our youngest campers, the Tallahassee Museum offers our pre-school summer camp! Children ages 3-5 years old (campers who are in preschool, going into VPK, and going into kindergarten) are welcome to sign up. Campers must be fully potty trained with no adult assistance to participate. Please see the Preschool Page for more information.
