Junior Science Camp

Our five-day Junior Science Camps are the opportunity of a lifetime for young scientists to get a taste of real palaeontology and have tons of fun in a safe, well-supervised environment. Camp out in the badlands in old-style prospector tents, prospect for dinosaurs, screen wash and sort real fossils, and discover palaeontology under the guidance of staff developed through the Badlands Science Camp Leadership Program.

If you have questions about registration, contact our Bookings Office.
