About

Our summer camps are a joyful mix of discovery, creativity, and hands-on learning. A typical day at our camps involves many activities designed to spark curiosity, spanning from designing inventions and conducting real science experiments to building friendships and enjoying collaborative challenges. Kids from PreK up to 8th grade enjoy a dynamic environment where they can explore new ideas, ask “what if,” and engage with science in ways that are both exciting and age-appropriate.

Our camps are designed in a way that makes every day an adventure in creativity, science, and discovery. Each week of summer camp has its own theme, and thus each day, has unique sets of projects. Some typical examples include:

• Explorer’s Welcome - Mondays: Each Monday includes the Opening Ceremony, where kid explorers play focused games to learn about their fellow campers and the science theme of the week.

• Innovations Days - Tuesdays & Thursdays: Kids use creative design to solve real science problems, and apply what they have learned to build a solution that solves a real world issue. They bring their custom designed solutions, such as layered pickleball paddles that are quiet and rainbow LED flashlights that also function as nightlights, home to share the innovation with parents.

• Closing Innovation Ceremony - Fridays: Fridays typically include our Closing Innovation Ceremony, where kids present and share their highlights from camp, as well as design and bring home their own STEM Innovation Box, which includes a set of child-friendly experiments and goggles to continue the learning at home. Fridays also include the Innovation Camp Celebration, a set of experiments that excites and motivates kids.

• Art & Creativity Studio - Everyday STEAM: Everyday at summer camp, the Art & Creativity Studio is unique, with 10 STEAM-powered experiences that add the “A” to STEAM (Magnet Maizes, Color Innovation Design).
