Science Camps for Winter Break


If you’re looking to keep the kids busy over their winter break, you’re in luck. Don’t scramble to hire a sitter for every day in late December - there are lots of other options for kids in Albuquerque.

One of the coolest things we found at the Winter Day Camps over the the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. There are a bunch of different camps and dates, depending on your child’s preference - these camps are intended for kids ages 6 to 12.

The camps include:

Air Academy
Monday, December 23
Come learn about the Dynamics of Flight. Practice your piloting skills on the Museum’s Flight Simulator. Become a paper airplane expert and build your very own glider.

Grossology
Friday, December 27
Totally disgusting, but so much fun! We don’t talk about  body functions in polite company, but the questions persist. Do you have questions that no one wants to discuss? Where does snot come from, anyway? Learn more about our anatomy and lots of other gross stuff.

Let’s Move, Science of Sports
Friday, December 27
How does centripetal force affect your skateboard? How fast is a fastball, anyway? What is the best design for a bicycle? Be able to teach your parents the science behind the upcoming Winter Olympics. Science really IS everywhere!

CSI: Camp Scene Investigation
Thursday, January 2
Forensic science takes on a new twist. Search for evidence, gather clues, and discover how science is used to help solve real mysteries. Learn to think like a detective and join the investigation!
