Summer Camp 2015
Beginning in June, Summer Discovery Camp goers will get to explore science, history, astronomy and more with weekly adventures that are sure to tap into a child’s interests in Summer Discovery Camps. A brand new camp this year is Build It. Campers will get to go behind the scenes into MOSH’s exhibit shop to explore how exhibits come to life as they complete daily woodworking projects and work together on a week-long project.
St. Johns River Week, a partnership between MOSH and St. Johns Riverkeeper in support of Cultural Fusion’s 2015 theme, Year of the River, will culminate with a boat ride along the St. Johns. And, space camps will feature a trip to Kennedy Space Center.

I care for my 3year old grand neice, can you recommend something we can do. We go to the library on Tuesday and to the park twice a week. Looking for something that will be fun and educational. Thanks
