WEEK 1: may 27th - may 31st

space quest

Get ready for an adventure from Earth’s atmosphere to the wonders of space. Camper’s knowledge will expand to infinity and beyond as we discover our solar system, black holes, rockets, constellations, and more. We will explore the science behind rocket construction as they build their own, and watch it launch. 3, 2, 1... BLAST OFF!

WEEK 2: june 3rd - 7th

Wilderness explorers

Join us as we venture into the natural world of Earth’s wildest wonders. Not only will campers learn about the unique features and creatures of biomes and habitats from all over the world, but campers will also learn key skills necessary to survive in those environments. We will explore survival skills like navigation, first aid, and shelter building, and learn sustainable practices that help maintain our wild habitats.

SPECIALTY CAMP: ROBOTICS AND ELECTRONICS

Campers will combine fun with the exploration of robotic mechanics. Campers will learn and be encouraged to think of multiple ways to solve problems in designing, building, and controlling a variety of robots. This specialty camp will learn to code and construct Cue Robots, LEGO® Mindstorm® EV3, as well as underwater remote operated vehicles (ROVs) to tackle obstacles, challenges, and friendly engineering competitions. Young, inspired future programmers will love this week of camp.

WEEK 3: june 10th - june 14th

WIZARDING WORLD OF SCIENCE

Our camp professors will lead their houses through classes, lessons, and experiments that explore the real-life science that inspired Harry Potter’s magical world. Campers will learn how to care for magical creatures, conquer potions, utilize forces, and compete in a tri-wizard tournament utilizing scientific forces. All aboard the Hogwarts Express!

SPECIALTY CAMP: LEGO® ENGINEERS

Get ready and 'LEGO' to camp. Campers will get the chance to build architectural and engineered LEGO® masterpieces. Campers will adopt principles of designing, planning, and constructing to challenge themselves to reach unbelievable and epic LEGO goals just like professional architects and engineers.

WEEK 4: june 17TH - 21st

detective discoveries

Campers and counselors will work towards becoming advanced super sleuths to solve the camp-wide mystery of “Who Done It!?” Campers will employ their problem-solving and detective skills to decipher codes, gather evidence, conduct tests, and practice real-life investigation techniques. Together as one camp, we will solve the big mystery.

SPECIALTY CAMP: Science + FASHION

Calling all visionaries to the chat. In this week of camp, budding fashion designers will hone their creativity in designing while discovering the specific science behind fashion. Campers will dive into their creative visions while exploring color theory, the correlation between psychology and clothing, new skills such as sewing, and much more. All while preparing their very own work of art for our camp-exclusive fashion show at the end of the week.

WEEK 5: JUNE 24th - JUNE 28th

Dinosaur Expedition

Calling aspiring paleontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages for a week full of discovery at the science center. Experience the thrill of holding real dinosaur fossils, studying the deep past, performing explosive experiments, examining modern-day plants and animals with prehistoric roots, and much more. Campers will learn from a real paleontologist and be able to delve into the exciting world of paleontology. You don't want to miss out on this expedition, it will be dino-mite!

WEEK 6: July 1st - july 4th *no camps*

WEEK 7: July 8th - july 12th

CAMP 3000

Campers will investigate the forces, energy, and actions powering some of their favorite super heroes and villains. We will hypothesize, predict and test whether we could exert super speed or super strength, be invincible, fly, and more! Join us as we conduct hands-on experiments, make mechanisms, and create concoctions to examine the ins and outs of super-power science.

SPECIALTY CAMP: Myth Busters

Could you really duct tape something the size of a person to a wall? Can you really rip a phonebook in half with just human strength? Is it possible to remove a tablecloth while leaving the items on top untouched? In this week of camp, campers will follow the scientific method as they perform a series of experiments to prove or disprove a belief or curiosity about the physical world. Science was inspired by questions, and we want to inspire the next generation of debunkers and philosophers

WEEK 9: July 22nd - july 26th

space quest

Get ready for an adventure from Earth’s atmosphere to the wonders of space.
