About
Dinosaur Ridge Summer Camp focuses on daily outdoor activities that introduce campers to paleontology, geology, and earth science. Campers take field trips to identify rock formations, complete hands-on experiments in a paleo lab, and take part in exciting experiments, hands-on activities, and outdoor adventures. Activities also include hiking through forests, discovering hidden creatures, learning about the plants and animals in these environments, crafting dino-inspired eco-friendly crafts, embarking on nature hikes, and creating their own dinosaur world. Campers must have finished kindergarten if they are 5 years old.

Dinosaur Ridge Summer Camp is part of an award-winning Summer Camp program connected to a science-based camp at an outdoor museum that includes guided bus tours, guided walking tours, Walk with a Geologist tours, a self-guided walk with interpretive signs, and access options such as the Morrison Dino Pass, which provides admission to both Dinosaur Ridge and Morrison Natural History Museum. The camp’s mission is to educate visitors about the evolving story of Dinosaur Ridge while advancing scientific research and fossil protection. Junior counselors are volunteers between the ages of 14 and 20 who gain experience in creating a fun, educational environment for campers, and there is a Junior Camp Counselor volunteer program for this age group. Camp scholarships are available, supported in part by 100+ Women Who Care Solterra, and Dinosaur Ridge has earned the Candid Seal of Transparency.
