Children & Families
Throughout the year, the Museum offers an exciting variety of family programs designed to encourage understanding and appreciation of the many facets of our natural world.
We are pleased to offer a robust selection of summer camps at both the Museum and Sea Center campuses. Stay tuned for upcoming camps and classes year-round!

Nature Adventures Camps & Classes
Nature Adventures™ is hands-on, minds-on, and hearts-on. Our camps and classes with trained instructors weave together science, art, and literature into fun learning activities. Topics are based on kid-approved topics like bugs, inventions, sharks, and wizarding.
Commitment to Nature-Based Learning
We're proud to participate in Richard Louv’s Children & Nature Network (C&NN), as well as our localized collaborative of nature-based learning organizations and individuals, Leave No Child Inside Santa Barbara. We share C&NN’s vision to build “a world in which all children play, learn and grow with nature in their everyday lives.” By providing programs and exhibits that allow for hands-on experiences where nature provides the curriculum (like the Museum Backyard), we're striving to help make that vision a reality.
