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.
