Dear Parents,

Kids love the Colburn, as you probably know. Every day we at the Museum are privileged to watch as kids delight in discovering many of the wonders of earth science. They may not even know they're learning something: they're having too much fun. We know, however, and you do as well, when your budding scientist explains how geodes are formed, why plate tectonics make mountains grow and how to measure the speed of the wind.

Joining the Colburn Earth Science Museum as a Family Member carries many benefits for your entire family. You will have free admission for an entire year, which means you can stop in at any time: maybe just to push the dynamite lever in the mine or perhaps on a Wednesday afternoon to stump the geologist with a recently discovered rock. Members also get discounts on all Colburn programs including our spectacular summer camps, advance notice of special events and class schedules, a discount in the gift store and more.

Membership at the Colburn supports the Museum and enables us to keep on offering our many wonderful, fun and educational programs. Become a Colburn Earth Science Museum member today and support quality science education in Western North Carolina.
