Camp Themes

Art Inventors

Let’s make a mess as we explore how art is involved in all things STEAM! From learning how people and animals experience colors to creating art using gravity and natural materials, campers can express themselves in this creative and funky art camp. Campers will think like engineers or camouflage like the animals as they observe and explore our mixed-media art projects that use sticks, seeds, handmade paper, dyes, and more. The result is a fun, messy experience that is sure to delight!

Gadgets & Gizmos

Whizz! Bang! Splat! Design and launch rockets, create a marble roller coaster, and drop eggs off the roof! In this camp all about physical science and the engineering process, campers explore electricity, experience physics, and observe chemical reactions. Gadgets & Gizmos focuses on experimenting, learning from design failures, and discovering how the objects all around us work and why sometimes they don’t. If your child likes tinkering, this is the camp for them.

Junior Keepers

Do you have an aspiring future zoo keeper at home? If so, Junior Keepers is the perfect camp! Campers will experience a day in the life of a zoo keeper, hike around Coyote point to observe animals in their natural habitats, and have up close encounters with some of the CuriOdyssey animals. They will make animal diets, create animal enrichment, and understand and advocate for animal conservation.

Eco Explorers

Eco Explorers learn and collaborate at the intersection of local ecology, design-thinking, and conservation through a past-to-present exploration of the San Francisco Bay Area. Campers will explore Coyote Point Park, meet animals from our zoo, and learn about other California native species and their importance in the ecosystem. We will learn about soil health, native vs invasive plants, why pollinators are so important for food production, and how we can take small steps to make big impacts on our environment.

Nature Quest

This camp is perfect for kids itching to get outside and discover science and nature through playful explorations of the world around them. Campers will explore different outdoor habitats to discover how the forces of nature, such as wind and water, shape the earth. From cliff climbing and nature hikes to building stick forts, campers will get the chance to be active while learning about conservation, ecosystems, and the natural world.

Museum Medley

Love Camp CuriOdyssey? Have an interest in all things STEAM but can't decide which camp to try? Check out Museum Medley, a camp that does a little bit of everything! From creating messy artwork or engineering cars to hiking to the marsh or observing our animals in the zoo, Museum Medley campers will get a taste of all our different camps.
