Summer is the perfect time to explore the outdoors, which is why the Pink Palace Family of Museums hosts fun-filled, exciting summer camps for children of all ages. This Memphis nature center gives your kids the opportunity to explore the unique habitats of Tennessee, meet animals, and develop a love of nature that can last a lifetime. Both of their popular programs offer reasonable rates, convenient child care options, and exciting experiences your children won’t forget.

Nature Explorers Camp

From June 4-8 and June 11-15, children aged 6-12 will have the chance to explore beautiful nature trails, use binoculars to watch for birds, and use plaster to make casts of animal tracks they discover along the way. With activities like leaf identification mazes and wildlife bingo, the nature center combines fun and education, encouraging young campers to dive deeper into the most fascinating aspects of the natural world. For members, the Nature Explorer’s Camp is only $170 for the week, while non-members can sign up for $180. Before- and after-care is available at an additional charge.

The Polliwogs Pre-K Camp

Exploring nature isn’t just for older kids! At the Polliwogs Pre-K Camp, potty-confident four- and five-year-olds can get an interactive introduction to nature. They’ll also get to explore the nature center, play dress-up with their friends, make leaf people with a real naturalist, and even learn to make musical instruments out of natural materials. The Polliwogs camp is open from May 21-25, with weekly and daily rates available.

The Pink Palace Family of Museums keeps the rich cultural and natural heritage of Tennessee alive with a wide range of educational and entertainment programs.
