COSAM Outreach

Our mini curators spent the second week at Curious Curators connecting with nature. From field investigations in forests, streams, and other local habitats to creating collections and keeping field journals, our young scientists embraced a week with nature. We loved seeing their curiosity and enthusiasm in action!

Thank you to all of our campers and families for making the final week of Curious Curators such a success. We can’t wait to see many of you again later this summer with our other Science Matters camps.
