Science Camp

Science Camp

When school is out, Science Camp is in with exhibits, experiments, movies, classes, labs and FUN! At camp, your child will have the opportunity to develop skills and make friendships that will last a lifetime. All campers are encouraged to play, tinker, and investigate the world around them with plenty of time to explore their favorite science center. Camp provides kids with the opportunity to grow both socially and academically, supporting their readiness and helping them thrive in school. Camp can build resilience skills that will continue to grow with our campers throughout their lives.
