Backpack Explorers

Come on an adventure! Children ages 3-5* and their caregivers investigate science, art, music, stories and culture in a fun, hands-on manner. Don backpacks filled with exciting objects while journeying through the Museum’s nature trails and exhibits. New themes weekly!

Tuesday, September 7 – Critter Collage
Animal friends will visit our studio and inspire artistic creations. Exploring the techniques of artists such as Ekua Holmes, Yuyi Morales and Eric Carle, we will experiment with color and texture to create our own masterpieces.

$15 per child. Members receive 20% discount. Non-members pay Museum admission for accompanying adult. 

*Due to face covering requirements at the Museum, we ask that caregivers bring to the program only the children between 3 and 5 years old registered for Backpack Explorers. Everyone is required to wear a mask in the classroom.

Per High Desert Museum policy, no refunds can be issued. For cases of illness or emergency, with notice 24 hours before the class, a class transfer may be issued.
