More Information

Spend part of your day off with Ms. Lauren at Keystone Kidspace! Animals don’t prepare for winter in quite the same way that we do. Come and learn about how animals adapt to the cold weather and are able to survive when the temperatures take a dive. Participants will spend the morning doing experiments, exploring animal artifacts, making crafts, playing games and more.

This mini camp is a drop off opportunity for kids ages 7+. Note that Keystone Kidspace will also be open to the public for drop in play from 9am to 1pm for Presidents Day.

Lauren Fauth joined the National Aquarium in May 2012 and currently holds the position of Manager of Education Programs, she oversees school programs both in the Aquarium building and at schools, homeschool programming, teacher professional development and summer camp programs. Lauren’s passion is to bring students into new experiences to foster a connection with the marine (or terrestrial) world. She is always looking for new ways to provide opportunities to both students and teachers to become engaged with the outdoors. Prior to coming to the National Aquarium, she worked in North Carolina at two of the North Carolina State Aquariums where she gained her love of teaching environmental science. She also works/volunteers at Nixon Park Nature Center, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and Make A Wish. When not working, Lauren can be found hanging out with her husband, daughter, and dogs (both resident and foster) most of the time exploring nature!
