Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota Introduces Curiosity Camp: Early Out Camp

    January 9th, 2024

    MANKATO – The Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest initiative, Curiosity Camps: The Early Out Camp is designed to transform shorter school days into enriching and fun experiences for children in Kindergarten through Third Grade.

    Taking advantage of Early Out Days, the Camp offers a unique opportunity for campers to explore, discover, and learn in an environment tailored to spark their curiosity and creativity. Parents can enjoy peace of mind, knowing their children are in a safe, fun space without the need for schedule adjustments or alternative childcare arrangements. Importantly, parents do not need to stay with their child during the camp hours.

    Each camp day presents campers with engaging and specific programming topics, providing opportunities to explore the Museum environment and participate in hands-on activities.

    Led by a team of highly qualified and Minnesota Licensed Educators, the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota education team ensures that each camp experience is engaging, unique, developmentally appropriate, and fun for all participants.
