Camp Intrepid- Summer


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/23/2019
Camp Intrepid is our full-day camp program where history and STEM come together! Campers have daily or weekly camp options. Each day campers dive into exciting projects related to the former aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, the Museum’s collections of air and spacecraft, historical artifacts and modern technology to assist them in their exploration. Educators help campers think critically, question the world around them and explore topics related to the history and science of our collections while having fun doing it!
