School's Out Day Camps

School’s Out Day Camps are full-day programs held on weekdays when the Dubuque Community School District is not in session. Designed for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade, these camps focus on history, culture, biology, and STEM topics. Campers must bring a sack lunch and a reusable water bottle.

Friday, October 10: Life of a Voyageur - Campers will experience the life of 18th-century voyageurs on the Mississippi River through hands-on activities, crafts, storytelling, and learning historical skills.

Thursday, October 30: Slime & Scales - Campers will create their own slime, meet critters up close, and explore the fascinating differences between reptiles and amphibians, learning how these animals survive in the wild.

Friday, October 31: Heebies & Jeebies - Campers will get into the Halloween spirit by meeting some of nature’s creepiest (and coolest!) critters. They will investigate their spooky reputations through hands-on activities and games, and discover that these tiny creatures are actually fascinating, not frightening.
