Camps at the Missoula Butterfly House & Insectarium provide students with a chance to learn about “the little things that run the world” as they investigate, explore, experiment, observe, build, and more. We’ll play to learn as we spend the week being curious and creative.

Camp Testimonials
I won’t hesitate to look for this camp and include it in our summer scheduling next year! I have video of my son presenting his science fair project to me and it is something I will cherish forever. He already knew so much about bugs, but he shocked me with the big words he was using and explanation of concepts that I don’t even fully understand. It was a super proud mom moment!

A month later and I’m still hearing bits and pieces of things Morgan learned, and memories from her time in camp.

On the drive home each day, my two kids and their two friends would go on and on relaying all the bug facts they learned each day. They would excitedly talk over each other, getting louder and louder, kindly correcting each other ... I wish I recorded it. It was hilarious and they all learned a tremendous amount!
