SUMMER CAMP at the Zimmer Children's Museum
Camp at the Zimmer offers an in-depth hands-on opportunity to explore the BIG IDEAS of community responsibility, cultural sensitivity and global understanding. This year, the museum offers 3 distinct week-long, half-day summer sessions that, through the power of play, will examine a unique perspective of the idea of responsibility.
Teaching children responsibility is an essential part of early childhood development. Through the various play experiences at the Zimmer Children's Museum, children learn qualities such as respect, honesty, compassion, and integrity and develop an understanding of their responsibility to themselves, their family, their friends, and their community. These life lessons prepare children to contribute to the larger society in meaningful ways.
