Activities to spark and nurture your curiosity during spring break!

Laval, January 21, 2020 – Spring break will be both scientific and fun in the laboratories of the Armand-Frappier Museum. Children ages 6 to 10 can participate in day camps, and families will have the opportunity to explore genetics through the activity “DNA: Family Resemblances Explained!”

Spring Break Science Camps
March 2–6, 2020
We welcome curious kids ages 6 to 10!

• Children ages 6 to 8 will have the chance to participate in the biosciences camp, where they’ll put on lab coats to conduct a variety of experiments in the lab. In the process, they’ll discover the many scientific disciplines that study living organisms—biology, ecology, anatomy, and more!
