Summer camps are back at Lied Discovery Children’s Museum
Registration is now open for summer camps at Lied Discovery Children's Museum. Southern Nevada's only children's museum has expanded its summer programming offerings again in 2012 to include an exciting variety of interactive weekly summer camps for local families. Campers will investigate, invent, experiment, interpret, strategize, discover and share what they've learned, but, most importantly, they'll have fun using their minds and engaging with others.
Weekly camp sessions begin the week of June 11 and run through the week of Aug. 13. Morning and afternoon sessions are available, from 8 a.m. to noon or 1 to 5 p.m., for children ages 6-9 and 10-12. A wide variety of camp themes are available, including Rocketry, Science Detective, Amazing Animals, Mystery of Puppetry and Grossology.
A special series of space-themed camps will be led by the museum's new director of learning experiences, Marian Gilmore, who came to the museum from the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala.
Camp prices are $125 per weekly camp session for museum members and $140 per weekly camp session for nonmembers. Lunch care also is available. Space is limited.

For 21 years, Lied Discovery Children's Museum has been a favorite family fun and education destination. Located downtown at 833 Las Vegas Blvd. North, the museum features more than 100 interactive exhibits based on science, art and culture for children and families.
In late 2012, the museum will relocate and become Discovery Children's Museum at the Donald W. Reynolds Discovery Center in Symphony Park. Featuring nine galleries of new arts and sciences interactive exhibits in a custom-designed 58,000-square-foot building, Discovery Children's Museum is poised to become an important new informal educational resource for the entire community.
