When school’s out, science is in! Kentucky Science Center’s mission is to help your child learn, even when JCPS is closed. In our pay by day camps your child will develop skills and make friendships that will last a lifetime. Our camp encourages all campers to play, tinker, and investigate the world around them with plenty of time to explore their favorite science center. Check back regularly for new updates as the school year progresses.
