Children, ages 5-12, spent June 7-11 on "safari" without ever leaving the Kern County Museum grounds. Museum staff created activities and visual experiences that gave the children a feel of far away lands and times in the first of six week-long, themed, summer day camps called "Summer Safari." “It's a blast but educational, too," said Jackie Brouillette, museum education and volunteer services manager. "History and Space will be part of the program, plus a chance for the children to take tours of different museum exhibits to learn about the past. One day of the week, we take the younger children to meet with their older peers who teach them what they have learned during their week at the museum. It's educational, but our philosophy is children learn best when they don't realize they are being taught. It is their vacation. So we make sure it is fun for them." More
