Join the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium for School’s Out Day Camps held on weekdays when the Dubuque Community School District is not in session. These full-day camps are for students in K-5th grade.
Toad-ally in Love, Friday, February 13: Toad-ally in Love: This camp is all about frogs & toads! Hop on down to the River Museum to become an expert. We’ll have a jumping good time exploring the stages of metamorphosis, conducting our own “frog chorus,” meeting some live toads, and learning all about Wyoming Toads. You’ll toad-ally fall in love with frogs after this camp!
Kid Carpentry, Thursday, March 12: This camp is all about the art of woodworking! From crafting wooden boats to building picture frames, campers will use real tools and materials to bring their own creations to life. We’ll also go behind the scenes with the Museum & Aquarium’s exhibit team for an exclusive tour of their workshop and learn how they bring exhibits from blueprint to reality!
Who Eats What? Friday, March 13: At this camp, we’ll sink our teeth into the world of herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores! Campers will explore how different animals eat, hunt, graze, and survive, whether they’re munching on plants, chasing prey, or enjoying a little of both. Through games, hands-on activities, and animal encounters, we’ll learn about food chains, teeth and claws, and how diet shapes life in the wild.
Home Tweet Home. Friday, April 3: Flap into the world of our feathered friends! We’ll discover what birds eat by taking a close look at their beaks and feet, then lend them a helping wing by making bird feeders and building cozy birdhouses. It’s a hands-on adventure that’s sure to make your spirits soar!
Deep Sea Divers, Monday, April 6: Explore the mysterious world beneath the waves, one of the least explored places on Earth. We’ll search for strange and fascinating creatures like cuttlefish, frilled sharks, anglerfish, and even the elusive giant squid. The deep sea is calling. Are you ready to dive in?
