BAKKEN SUMMER CAMP IN ST. PAUL
We’re bringing our summer camp to Bethel University! Join us August 14 through 17 in St. Paul for the same hands-on innovation exploration as our on-site program. Students will plan, build, improve, and show off a project of their design with support from museum educators and camp counselors.
Registration for this camp is open to the public – no affiliation with Bethel University is required to attend.
