Join us for a week of science exploration and fun! In this course, campers will work with everyday ingredients to create fun projects like lava lamps, egg geodes, and even make ice cream in a bag. Experiments and projects will be hands on and will encourage young science enthusiasts to be curious and think creatively. Counselors will help students engage with the scientific method and experimental processes to create an exciting and fun learning experience.

During the middle of the day, campers will have an opportunity to enjoy our “Cross-Training” hour: They can play a choice of sports, swim, or have fun in our arcade.

This camp will run in one session: Jun 24-Jun 28, 2024 from 9:00 am-3:00 pm daily.

The cost of a 5-day session of this camp is $540. This camp is open to kids entering grades 2 through 6 in August 2024. Each camper will receive a t-shirt, water bottle, and drawstring backpack. Lunch is available for an additional fee (click here for details). Extended care is also available for an additional fee (click here for details).
