Outdoor Adventure Day Camp at the Rochester Hills Museum 2026: A School Break Option

The Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm holds its Outdoor Adventure Day Camp on Monday, November 2, 2026, starting at 10 a.m., and it is a one-day drop-off option for families looking for something to do on the fall school break. The city-run museum lists the camp at 1005 Van Hoosen Road, and the single-day format gives kids a day of hands-on outdoor activity on the historic farm grounds without parents needing to plan a full week of care.

Outdoor play on the farm property anchors the day, and the museum's programming builds on the site's barns, fields, and historic buildings, which makes it a different setting from the indoor gyms and play spaces that fill most school-break options. The camp is priced at $60 per child on the museum's official listings, and registration runs through the museum's ticketing page, so families should book ahead since these programs keep limited space.

The museum also keeps Public Drop-In Hours and Tours on Fridays and Saturdays from 12 to 3 p.m. through November, with a 1 p.m. guided tour of the 1840 farmhouse, which gives families a quieter, self-paced option on the same grounds. The museum is part of the City of Rochester Hills parks system, and its page at rochesterhills.org is the place to confirm the camp schedule and any changes before November.
