Upcoming Events

Connect with nature at the Desert Museum! Explore human relationships with the Sonoran Desert through science, crafts, play, and live animal encounters. Leave with an understanding of your role in the desert and ways to explore nature in your own lives. This camp is open to kids currently in Grades 1-6. Campers will be together for group activities and will separate into two groups (Grades 1-3 or 4-6) for age-appropriate activities and adventures throughout the day.

Gather your friends, family, and fellow nature nerds for a day of searching, scouting and documenting the Wild species at the Desert Museum! We will Party in a day — what surprise animals or plants can you find?

The Desert Museum is joining in the Pima County Nature Challenge (CNC). CNCs have been growing in major cities in the past few years as a way to connect to the outdoors, document biodiversity, build community, and data sets.

To the desert and beyond! Our hands-on, minds-on camps will open your eyes to the Sonoran Desert region’s diverse land and sea. Campers will explore every nook and cranny of the Museum as they use science to make their own desert discoveries, observe live animals up close, create art, and chill out in our Packrat Playhouse.
