School Break Camps
School’s Out, MOSI’s in!
MOSI’s School Break Camps keep young minds active and engaged all year long. We offer exciting camps during Fall, Winter, and Spring breaks, for kids in Kindergarten through 8th grade, as well as Summer Break Camps for kids in Pre-K through 11th Grade. MOSI is the perfect place for your child to spend their time off—diving into hands-on, minds-on STEAM activities that spark creativity and foster learning, all while having fun!
Camps run from 9am to 4pm, packed with interactive and educational experiences. For added convenience, we offer extended care in the mornings (7am-9am) and afternoons (4pm-6pm) for an additional fee, allowing parents flexibility with their schedules.
Each day at MOSI, campers dive into exciting activities in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. From building projects to conducting experiments, every camp session encourages children to think, explore, and create in a fun, dynamic environment.
MOSI Members enjoy special discounts on camp fees, making it easy for your child to join in on the action. Don’t miss the chance for your child to have a memorable, enriching experience this school break.

Camp FAQS
What does my child need to bring?
A packed lunch, two snacks, and clothes that they can get messy in!
Do I need to register for the entire week?
Yes, MOSI camps are only offered on a per week basis. For camps that run more than one week you have the option of signing up for one week or multiple weeks.
How old does my child need to be for camp?
MOSI offers camps to children kindergarten through eighth grade. Camps are divided by age level. Students who have not yet started kindergarten are not old enough for camp.
Can someone else pick up my child?
You can designate other adults to pickup your child on your camp registration form. ANY adult picking up a child needs to have a photo ID for staff to compare against your approved list of adults.
Can I pick up my child early?
You can pick up your child any time before 3pm. We do not allow early pickup between 3pm-4pm to ensure a safe and smooth sign out at dismissal.
What does a typical day look like for campers?
While ever camp's schedule is slightly different, but in general students have a full day of themed science activities broken up by a morning snack time, lunch, recess, and an afternoon snack time. Occasionally during the week, counselors may take their group to enjoy MOSI's exhibits as well.
