Special note for parents of Kindergarten kids: The Zing Into Kindergarten half-day camp allows kids to practice skills needed for Kindergarten with a Scott Family Amazeum twist! Get a kickstart on kindergarten through hands-on STEAM activities held at the Amazeum and the Bentonville Community Center. Young minds explore sensory, science, tools, engineering, art, numbers, and literacy through playful explorations. The Zing Into Kindergarten and the Kickstart Kindergarten camps are designed especially for children entering kindergarten in fall 2023.
