The Whaling Museum's History's Mysteries camp puts kids in grades 3–7 in the role of museum detectives. Over five days, campers crack codes, examine artifacts with forensic techniques, and uncover hidden stories from Long Island's maritime past — all with the museum's galleries as their playground.

It's part scavenger hunt, part science lab, part time machine. A great fit for curious kids who love puzzles and history. Member and sibling discounts available, along with need-based scholarships.
