Believe it or not, it’s time to start thinking about summer camp.

Columbia’s most popular options, like those offered at the South Carolina State Museum, fill up quickly — so know your plan before spots sell out.

This year, the State Museum is offering a wide variety of summer camps in June, July, and August with fun and engaging themes for kids ages 6-12. Think:

  • Astro Adventures | June 9-13 + July 21-25
  • Diagnose the Gross | June 16-20 + July 28-Aug. 1
  • Making Movie Magic | June 23-27 + Aug. 4-8
  • Real World Robotics | June 2-6 + July 14-18
  • And many more

Every week-long camp focuses on a different subject, including astronomy, art, S.T.E.A.M., and robotics, each day. Pro tip: Registration is now open, so don’t wait to sign up your little ones for their first-choice camps — trust us, they will thank you.
