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.”
June 30 – July 3 No Camp Friday, July 4
Launching with Legends
Discover the work of da Vinci, Edison, Tesla, and Benjamin Franklin and use what you learn to invent solutions to everyday problems. You’ll prepare a proposal and receive a patent certificate for your very own invention. Build your own catapult, and even launch projectiles off a large trebuchet! You’ll bring home countless cool inventions and a squadron of paper airplanes the Wright brothers would be proud of!
Flight to the Future
Use your imagination and creativity to escape the dangers of an island and make it back into space! Explore technological advances: submarines, boats, stomp rockets, & spacecraft. Discover science fiction through the works of Jules Verne and Isaac Asimov. All campers will build and take home their own sci-fi inspired light sabers!
July 14 – 18
Mad Machines & Jr Engineers
Whether you enjoy building or destroying structures, you’ll love this camp! Work with simple machines such as pulleys, wedges, screws, and levers, to build your own catapults! Experiment with tessellation with triangles and cubes. Exercise your ability to work with others while constructing a geodesic dome big enough for everyone to fit inside! Let the building begin!
BRIXology - Mechanical Marvels
These classes were developed with Lego master builders! Campers will build machines that GO! From race cars to boats and drawing machines to insects. Our creations are on the move. Each day we will explore a different engineering concept and put what we learn to the test. Children will receive a take home activity each day. Let the building begin!
August 11 – 15
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 bandanas to take home, and even make our very own ice cream!
Super Slimy Smokey Science
Dive into a variety of scientific fields as you help solve a mystery, stretch silly putty and slime, copper-plate nickels, tinker with circuits, and investigate optical illusions. Become captivated by lasers, dry ice, and hair-raising experiments! You will love what happens when you mix science and fun!
August 25 – 29
Robots – Paths to Power
Explore the discoveries and inventions that have made robots possible. From learning how robots light up to getting them moving with gears. After learning the fundamentals, we will experiment with different sources of energy and even get to take a hand-powered generator home. We will see how these energy sources affect the environment and how they compare with sustainable energy while thinking about future energy sources!
Spies Like Us
Become a super spy and learn clever ways of performing tasks in this hands-on view of the science that spies use. Go on secret missions to find enemy spies and receive your very own pair of spyglasses. From decoding messages to secret safes and lasers, you will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and discover the technological tools of detection!
