El programa de Introducción a los Campamentos en el NHM es una noche llena de actividades de campamento, naturaleza y diversión, ¡todo ello en los jardines botánicos del museo! Damos la bienvenida a los que acampan por primera vez para que exploren los jardines en una caminata nocturna y conozcan a los científicos del museo que estudian murciélagos, bichos y otros animales salvajes, además de compartir historias de la naturaleza de Los Ángeles mientras se asan malvaviscos en la hoguera. Este programa es co-organizado con Socios Comunitarios de Self Help Graphics & Art, IMPACTO, yLatino Outdoors.
