Kaleidoscope Kids Summer Academy 2009
Wildlife Conservation
In summer 2009, the Museum will again open its doors for five exciting weeks of the Kaleidoscope Kids Summer Academy from July 6 through August 7, for young people ages six through twelve. The 2009 Summer Academy will focus on wildlife conservation. Each week we will study the incredible diversity of plants and animals on our planet and focus on a single species or group of animals that are in extreme danger of extinction, and what affects that an animal’s extinction would have on us. Instruction will be provided by highly qualified science teachers and supplemented by field trips to pertinent sites. The children will receive a total museum experience with related fun-filled activities in the arts provided by Young Audiences New Jersey’s professional artists. A different aspect of wildlife conservation will be featured during each of the five weeks. All of the Museum’s resources in collections, exhibitions, scientists and teachers will be participating in order to provide a comprehensive educational experience.
The hours will be 9 am to 3 pm Monday through Friday, with extended hours available at $15 per day per child. Enrollment can be for any combination of weeks at $175 per week per child (reduced to $150 per week for New Jersey State employees and members Friends of the New Jersey State Museum).
