Camps

Camps are a great way for your child to explore a science discipline they love more thoroughly.

Our week-long camps take one of the four major science disciplines and creates a themed camp of science lessons, science based crafts, free play and exploration. Our one-day camps are a single day from our week-long camps.

May the FORCE be with you!

In this fun camp, kids will explore how things move! Students will build their own boats and airplanes to learn about sinking, floating, flight, and balance. They’ll also experiment with gravity, magnets, friction, and simple machines! The day is rounded out by outdoor recess, story time tied to the day’s science, free reading, exploration, and a daily journal entry.
