It’s the summer and the kids are out of school—and you’re out of ideas to entertain them (and they may or may not be driving you crazy already). Never fear! The Utah Museum of Natural History is here! We are quickly learning in our house that UMNH is the go-to place when we are wanting to have lots of fun and sneak in some education too.

Of course the Utah Museum of Natural History didn’t disappoint this spring, and now they are offering a fantastic opportunity for kids to enjoy the museum while participating in their summer camps. I know what you’re thinking: “How do I know how good the summer camps are?” Um, because my daughter has not stopped talking about how seeds become fruit, and what plants need to grow and on and on and on since she attended the Budding Botanist class. She had fun while learning, and who wouldn’t want that for her child during the summer!? Even though Savannah hadn’t shown any prior interest to the class we chose, once she learned about it all, she became obsessed.

With so many different classes to choose from there is definitely something for every young one. They even have classes geared toward 9th graders. Savannah is already looking at the other classes she wants to attend, and this will be something we will incorporate into every summer from here on out.
