Summer Camps
An Affordable Experience Your Child Will Never Forget
Your kids will remember the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion’s Virtual Summer Camp 2020 for the rest of their lives!
Out of an abundance of caution and in keeping with current CDC recommendations, we have altered our summer camp model for 2020.
Campers will get a personalized virtual experience with some of the world’s most exotic creatures. From educational animal encounters, to scientific demonstrations, to backyard ecological explorations and much more, kids will leave with an appreciation for the natural world that they will build on for years to come.

The Details
The programs are designed for ages 6-16. If your child is not within this range but you are interested in signing them up, please contact us for special circumstances.
Each session includes a week full of activities. Every morning, campers will have a video chat session with the camp director which is focused around creatures from the our collection, demonstrations, and conversation time.
Families must pick up the provided supplies in-person at the museum. Each day includes a Mission, where campers and families can go out and find bugs in their natural habitats, as well as Crafts and Experiments meant to be completed at home at each family’s own pace.
Bug-U Virtual Summer Camp is the ultimate way for city kids to experience the beautiful outdoors in an educational and safe environment!
