Send your child’s curiosity to new heights and deliver exciting fun this summer with the National Postal Museum’s free virtual STAMP Camp!
Embark on an exciting journey into the realm of STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art, and math, from the comfort of home.
By registering for STAMP Camp with the National Postal Museum, you will receive five free STEAM and postal themed activities throughout June, July and August, to complete at your own pace with the young learner in your life.
Designed to inspire young minds, each activity is packed with museum objects, hands-on activities, and engaging challenges- including Katie’s Challenge! A weekly extension created exclusively for STAMP Camp by Katie Kirk, the National Postal Museum’s 2024 Guest Artist.
This program is best for learners ages 6 and up and is recommended for ages 6-12, with adult support. Registration must be completed on behalf of the young learner by an adult guardian.
