Summer Science Camps
Registration for 2023 summer science camps opens March 28th at 6pm MST.
To be notified about registration details please join our email list here.
In an effort to increase equity and allow more youth to attend our camps, Walking Mountains has eliminated the $100 membership benefit that previously provided priority access to register for summer camps.

Walking Mountains Science Center’s Summer Science Camps allow youth to experience the wild places of the Eagle River Valley while nurturing their connection to the natural world through daily excursions outside. Campers investigate principles of ecology and develop an understanding of scientific concepts through fun, adventure, experiments, and exploration. All Summer Science Camps are age-appropriate and taught by qualified natural science educators that make learning safe and fun. Overnight camps take place at one of the historic 10th Mountain Division Huts.
**Please note you will need to register for each child individually based on the grade your camper is entering in the Fall of 2023**
