CALM
Summer Twice the Fun
Summer is twice the fun for children when you double the number of museums they
can experience, twice-a-day, for a week. That unique idea was spawned by the California
Living Museum (CALM) and the Kern County Museum. Both operate half day summer
camps for children. This year, they combined resources to give children an additional,
two weeks of full day camps at one location -- the museum -- from July
24-28 and Aug. 7-11. Morning sessions involve children in fun CALM activities
focusing on animals, nature and the environment. Afternoons, museum staff offer
children opportunities to discover exciting and thought-provoking adventures with
science, music and geography. Friday field trips to CALM culminate the week long, daily-doubles. Founded in
1983, CALM is home to native animals that because of injury or abandonment can
no longer live on their own in the wild. It is actually three venues in one --
a zoo featuring the native animals, a botanical garden sprawling with lush native
vegetation and a natural history museum containing finds dating back to prehistoric
times. More
