PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. — The Pacific Grove Museum invites families to Discover a world of wonder this summer with their 2023 Summer Camps. Campers will get the chance to roar into the ancient world with dinosaurs and archaeology, explore the science of galaxies, stars, and planets, uncover the secrets of the Museum’s collections, and enjoy time in the Museum and outdoors.

Museum naturalists are ready with a host of experiments, crafts, games, and activities, and campers will have an amazing time making new friends and learning all sorts of incredible things about the natural world.

About the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History

In 1883, our museum opened its doors among the first wave of natural history museums in America. Naturalists of this era began a national tradition of hands-on science education and nature preservation, a tradition the Museum has continued for 140 years. The Museum’s mission is to inspire discovery, wonder, and stewardship of our natural world. It envisions a community of curious minds, engaged in discovering the natural heritage and cultural legacy that exist today on the Central California Coast. The Museum is a catalyst for conservation and a valued learning resource in this region, facilitating active inquiry for all ages. For more information visit www.pgmuseum.org.
