Colors of the Desert Summer Camp — at the Museum

Bright Green Beetle

Blue Butterfly

July 18-22, 2022
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Ages: for students entering Grades 6-8 in the Fall of 2022

Explore colors and how they are perceived (or not!) by both humans and animals. This camp combines art and science, where microscopes and paintbrushes work side by side as we investigate and create a colorful world. Campers will also explore the Museum and use nature as a creative inspiration for projects. Participants will draw, paint, experiment, and observe. They will learn the foundational principles of scientific illustration, optics, and natural pigment production — and get to meet live animals!
