The South Carolina State Museum is excited to welcome campers back in 2023 with a new lineup of summer camps this June, July and August, presented by AFLAC, for children aged 6 – 11 years old.
Our Summer Campers will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of different week-long camps while exploring the museum, experiencing 4D and planetarium shows, and engaging in problem-based educational activities and STEAM projects throughout the day. Whether it’s exploring space in the planetarium and observatory, engineering their own robotic designs or even digging into South Carolina’s pirate past, there’s something for every camper to enjoy. Summer Camps are separated by ages, 6-8 and 9-11.
