The Museum offers a day long (9am – 3pm) program to enrich the hours of the school holidays.

Fee per day: $65 ($60 for members)
Before and after care (7:30 am – 5:30 pm) is available at $8 per hour.

We do not need medical forms for Vacation programs unless your child will be bringing an Epi Pen or medication that may need to be administered during the course of the day. We would need the current Medical Administration form signed by the physician and the parents in order to have these medications on hand. The Rx for the prescriptions must also be with the meds.

Click on each program for complete information and link to registration.

We will pull online registration down the day before a class is scheduled. If you are trying to sign up within 24 hours of the program, you must call the Museum to check on availability. 203.777.1833

Her crew sought out unknown civilizations across the galaxy. A Prime Directive promised that no starship would interfere with the development of any civilization it encountered. The challenge and wisdom of that law shaped the Enterprise's many adventures and accounts for her ongoing respect and fame.

Campers will use the museum's digital cameras to learn the basics of photography and then spend the morning taking photos (Fall is such a great time to photograph!) After lunch they will begin their editing using Pixlr – a free, web-based, photo editing program.
