PIR DAY CAMPS

Looking for something a little extra for days when your mini-scientist is out of school? Our PIR Camps expose kids to a variety of science careers and engaging lessons to pique their interests!

Diamond in the Rough

Monday, February 19

Lots of people like rocks and minerals, but everyone loves a gem! Let’s explore what crystals are and how they form - maybe even find a few of our own! We will also learn where precious metals like silver and gold come from. We’ll visit Earth's Treasures rock shop to see some spectacular specimens.

PIR Day Gear List

Please bring a backpack with the following every day:

  • 2 full water bottles, at least 1 liter each (we’ll have access to fill water too)

  • rain coat

  • sun hat and/or sunglasses (if necessary)

  • extra pair of socks

  • healthy sack lunch (soft-sided lunch boxes are best to fit into backpacks while hiking)

  • 2 healthy snacks

  • extra clothing (always pack a warm layer)

  • closed-toe shoes

  • small container of sunscreen and bug spray (if necessary)

  • small hand sanitizer

  • Snow gear (if necessary: boots, two pairs of gloves, jacket, pants)

The weather in Montana can be inclement and unpredictable. Please ensure your child has everything necessary to play and learn outside.

Please DO NOT send your child to MOSS Programs with a smartwatch or any electronic device. We have found electronics cause distractions to not only one child but the children around them as well.

**Your child will not have to carry their backpack throughout the day. Therefore, it’s okay if their pack is heavy.

**MOSS is committed to making programming accessible to everyone. If your family needs support providing the necessary gear, let us know. We have extras and are happy to share.

Don't forget to double-check backpack contents before leaving home each morning!
