We’re enrolling for Burke summer camps right now. This summer we’re offering a number of week-long, all-day camps for kids in grades 2-12. From dinosaurs to DNA, scientific mysteries to environmental realities, there are plenty of options for your child.
Here are the details:
Dinos! ~ For students entering 2nd – 3rd grades
Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, T. rex, oh, my! Hold a real dinosaur tooth! Practice being a paleontologist with a real fossil-hunter. Make a cast of a dinosaur fossil just like the Burke’s fossil preparator would. Spend a week with dinosaurs this summer! Register Now!
Dr. Mossbreath's Mystery ~ For students entering 4th – 6th grades
For the past two summers, the mysterious Dr. Mossbreath has guided us on the search for lost treasure. This summer’s mystery is the best yet! Dr. Mossbreath is back to introduce a mysterious time capsule from Washington State. Follow maps, peer through microscopes, and discover clues inside and outside the museum. Where will the clues lead? Register Now!
The Last Polar Bear ~ For students entering 7th – 9th grades
The polar bear — a charismatic icon in the struggle against climate change — faces a precarious future. The photography exhibit, The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World, gives students a unique opportunity to explore questions related to climate change, ecosystems, habitat loss, and conservation. Students will meet the photographer, Steven Kazlowski, and UW climate scientists, and work on their own photography project. Register Now!
Investigating DNA ~ For students entering 7th – 9th grades
Make a model of DNA out of licorice and gumdrops. Extract DNA from foods commonly found in your kitchen. Learn the basics of DNA and how it is used to explore conservation issues around the world. In this one-week intensive (and fun) hands-on class, students will use UW labs and Burke collection specimens to examine DNA and begin to understand genetics. Register Now!
Climate Quest ~ For students entering 10th – 12th grades
Climate Quest is a 7-day intensive course that combines environmental science and video production. Students will learn about the basic science of climate, the impact of climate change on the Pacific Northwest, and efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Students will create videos to communicate what they learn. The course will incorporate UW faculty, active learning projects, and witnessing climate change firsthand in the field. One college credit is available for this camp. Register Now!
