Mission — “We aim to spark the imagination and curiosity of children everywhere by providing them with fun, entertaining and educational activities that instill a clear understanding of what science is really about and how it affects the world around them.” FULL DAY and HALF DAY OPTIONS!
Monday, September 21
Powerful Plants
Mad Scientists will dive into the fascinating science of plants, cells, seeds, and fossils through exciting hands-on experiments and STEM activities! Campers will investigate photosynthesis, explore plant anatomy, build their own plant cell models, study how seeds grow and travel, and learn how fossils form. Through interactive experiments and scientific exploration, students will discover the incredible processes that help plants and living things survive and thrive while taking home nature-inspired science projects to continue exploring.
LEGO® Aerospace
Launch into an exciting space engineering mission in this LEGO® camp developed with LEGO master builders! Young astronauts and inventors will design, build, and test futuristic space technology as they construct detailed space stations, engineer off-world habitats, build landing systems and solar sails, and tackle real-world STEM challenges inspired by life in space. Through creativity, teamwork, and hands-on engineering with LEGO bricks, campers will explore what it takes to survive, build, and travel beyond Earth in an unforgettable space adventure, plus create projects and designs that inspire continued building beyond camp.
Wednesday, November 25
Spy Academy
Young spies and secret agents will dive into the fascinating world of codes, communication, and espionage through hands-on STEM challenges and interactive missions! Campers will create secret identities, decode hidden messages, explore Braille and Morse code, uncover hidden “dead drops,” and solve puzzles to complete their top-secret mission. Through teamwork, problem-solving, and cryptography activities, students will discover how real spies and investigators communicate and protect information while bringing home secret-agent tools and code breaking fun to use beyond camp.
History Hunters
Young paleontologists will travel back in time to uncover the mysteries of dinosaurs, fossils, and prehistoric life through hands-on science activities and exciting discoveries! Campers will learn how fossils form, explore Earth’s history, examine real fossil specimens, create plaster fossil casts, preserve objects in “amber,” and investigate the work of real paleontologists like Mary Anning. Through interactive experiments and prehistoric challenges, students will experience the science behind Earth’s ancient past while taking home their own fossil-inspired discoveries and artifacts.
Winter Break (Dec 28 - 30)
Nifty Natural Mechanical Science
Spring into a medley of science! Learn about the Earth and its animal inhabitants, simple machines, rocketry, and chemical reactions; there’s something for everyone! Build and race a car, concoct creations with chemistry, analyze animal tracks and cap off the week with a rocket launch!
Chemical Curiosities
Become a creative chemist through the investigation of the periodic table and the atoms that make up everything around us! Learn about chemical reactions as you grow crystals. We will experiment oxidizing metals with different chemicals to see how rusty they get, design chromatography bandannas to take home, and even make our very own ice cream!
