El Paso families looking for enriching after‑school experiences have a new option. La Nube, the city’s STEAM museum, announced Tuesday that registration is now open for a series of fall camps designed to spark curiosity and inspire discovery.
Camp options for every age group
The museum has organized four distinct programs, each tailored to a specific grade range. For children in kindergarten through second grade, three themed camps are available:
- Junior Detectives: The Global Chase – young sleuths solve puzzles that blend geography and problem‑solving.
- Neon Galaxy – a space‑focused adventure that explores astronomy and creative design.
- The Young Wizards Academy: A STEAM Adventure Camp – a blend of magic‑themed storytelling with hands‑on engineering challenges.
Students in grades three to five can choose between:
- Seasons of Discovery Camp – seasonal science projects that connect classroom learning to the natural world.
- Fab Lab El Paso: Go For Launch – a maker‑space experience where kids design, prototype, and test simple rockets and other inventions.
For older students, grades six through twelve, La Nube offers two advanced tracks:
- Fab Lab El Paso: BioFab – Future Lab – an introduction to biotechnology, bio‑engineering concepts, and real‑world applications.
- Designing for the Desert – a project‑based course that tackles sustainable design challenges specific to the West Texas environment.
Each camp emphasizes hands‑on challenges, creative projects and collaborative adventures. According to La Nube staff, the goal is to bring learning to life, giving children the chance to explore science and the arts in a supportive, community‑focused setting.
How to sign up
Parents and guardians can register online by visiting La Nube’s website. The registration page provides detailed schedules, tuition information and any required materials for each age group. Because space is limited, La Nube encourages families to sign up early to secure a spot for their child.
La Nube’s fall camps represent a valuable resource for El Paso’s families, offering affordable, high‑quality educational programming that aligns with the community’s commitment to strong families and lifelong learning.
Supporting local education
By offering these STEAM‑focused camps, La Nube reinforces the city’s broader effort to provide enriching extracurricular options that complement school curricula. The museum’s programs help prepare the next generation for careers in science, technology, engineering and the arts—fields that are essential to the region’s economic growth and future prosperity.
