A nature day camp at the Natural History Museum exploring the world of insects through hands-on activities.

▌ Editor's read The camp, "Adventures in Nature Day Camp: Insect Investigators," is a day camp for children aged 5-6, hosted by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The program focuses on insect exploration and is described as an "immersive experience" (nhm.org/calendar/adventures-nature-day-camp-insect-investigators). The camp is not ACA accredited, nor does the website provide information regarding state licensing. There is no mention of staff-to-camper ratios or whether staff undergo background checks. The camp's social media presence is tied to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, with Instagram handle @nhmla and Facebook handle @nhmlac. The camp is clearly a day program, running from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with optional extended care (nhm.org/calendar/adventures-nature-day-camp-insect-investigators).
