Camp at The Nest

by North Carolina Children's Museum

The Nest at the North Carolina Children's Museum is a playful, enriching space where young minds explore, create, and connect. Each summer and during school breaks throughout the year, kids ages 4-8 can enjoy learning and playing at The Nest all day long with enriching camp experiences. The Nest includes hands-on exhibits, art and maker activities, and sensory-friendly options to support all kinds of learners. Each camp day is packed with discovery, creativity, and play as campers explore all the exhibits at The Nest and dive into special STEM experiments, seasonal crafts, and hands-on learning activities. Camps feature a selection of exciting themes so kids can stretch their minds and imaginations while exploring the wonders of our universe, from mighty microbes to outer space.
