If you’re looking for some fun educational activities to do with the kiddos, this is a great one! Google has partnered with National Geographic, the National Park Service, and Khan Academy to bring you Camp Google!
Camp Google is a free online summer camp that gets kids outside learning through fun, interactive science activities and adventures! Led by experts, the activities have been designed to encourage kids to ask questions, setting them on a lifelong journey of exploration and discovery.
Camp Google is geared toward kids age 7–10, but with proper supervision and guidance, kids of all ages can enjoy the activities. There is no registration or fee required, and you don’t need a Google account to participate.
Each week kicks off with an awesome new adventure that’ll take kids to exciting new places. Afterwards, kids get to continue exploring with fun science activities led by experts. Everyone’s invited, and you can do the activities whenever you like!
The weekly schedule* of activities** is as follows:
- Ocean Week – Running now!
- Space Week – July 20th
- Nature Week – July 27th
- Music Week – August 3rd
Kids can even earn cool badges for every activity completed and then track their progress with the Badge Tracker!
This is such a cool “summer camp” and it makes a great resource to add to our homeschooling science curriculum! We are really enjoying going through the activities together!
*If you will miss a week due to vacation or whatnot, don’t worry! All of the camp activities will remain open so you can always come back and pick up where you left off, or revisit favorite activities!
**Note that the activities will require some supplies you may or may not have readily on hand around the house. You can check out the full Supply List and prepare for the activity ahead of time.
