and the inter-related web of life, CCMNH taught biodiversity long before it became a widely recognized term. KidSummer programs focus on this important concept in age-appropriate ways, emphasizing biology, physiology, and ecology. Now through biomimicry, children will come away with an understanding of the relationships among plants, animals, insects, birds, and humans. Our Museum campus is surrounded by a unique outdoor laboratory – 400 acres of conservation land on Cape Cod Bay that encompasses upland woods, alewife brook, beech forest, salt marsh, barrier dunes, ocean beach, and tidal pools. Three trails wind through these habitats and a native wildflower garden. The programs combine outdoor exploration, STEAM based classroom projects and experiments.
