Welcome to Summer Camp at Florida Children’s Museum!
Summer Camp 2025 is the Summer of Caring! Learning + Doing = Caring

Camp programming is designed and led by our highly-skilled Education Team. Through hands-on-learning and structured play, your child will explore science, art, math, and language in a space curated just for kids. Each week of camp offers its own unique theme and programming, free-play in the Museum, and daily trips to Bonnet Springs Park.
