Award-Winning Camp Experiences
Adventure Science Center camps provide a safe, fun, memorable, and educational experience where campers actively discover and examine STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) concepts themselves. We inspire a life-long passion for learning and foster an environment for creative problem-solving, teamwork, curiosity, and critical thinking through hands-on activities, exciting experiments, and scientific explorations!
