Paleo camp deemed a success; board considers new one-day rocks program
Summary
Museum staff reported a successful Paleo camp with 11 children this year and proposed adding a one-day rocks-and-minerals program next year to broaden youth offerings.
Museum staff reported that this year’s Paleo camp engaged a small, attentive group of children and that the board is considering expanding youth programming with a one-day rocks-and-minerals session next year.
S1 said Paleo camp had 11 participants and praised the students’ engagement: “We had a good group of kids. They were engaged and listened.” The staff contrasted that with 25 participants the prior year and said a one-day mineral-and-rocks program could be an easier add-on to the schedule than a multi-day camp.
Board members agreed the activity would be straightforward to plan and valuable for outreach to school groups and families; staff will explore scheduling and curriculum for next year’s youth offerings.
