These camps let children go to work at the American Museum of Natural History more or less the way real scientists do. In “Astrophysics Lab,” campers imagine themselves living in space as they find answers to questions about black holes and extraterrestrial life. In “Fossils and DNA,” brainy types learn about methods behind fossil analysis by roaming the Spitzer Hall of Human Origins. A sampler camp gives incoming first-graders an opportunity to take in an array of scientific knowledge in more digestible packages.
