Put your imagination and creativity to work! Campers learn basic engineering concepts while creating all kinds of contraptions that move! During this camp, your young engineer will design creative machines of their own, including a marble run and a cardboard automaton. We will explore flight with gliders and speed with Co2 cars. Campers participate in building challenges to create simple machines that fly, speed, and race using basic materials, tips from famous inventors, and most importantly, their minds!

There’s so much to discover both inside and out of a good book’s cover! Dive into some of your favorite stories and bring them to life! Make the perfect bed for Goldilocks! Help the Three Billy Goats Gruff cross the bridge and stay safe from the trolls. Does buttered bread land more often butter side up, or butter side down? Let’s find out! Each morning we will set the theme for the day with a read-aloud story, followed by some fun, hands-on activities.

Grab some goggles and get ready to get messy during this week of chemistry experiments in all their slimy, messy, foamy, fizzy, colorful fun! Campers will learn a surprising use for red cabbage, make gummy worms, discover how electroplating works, and of course, make color changing slime! Come celebrate the science of making a mess!

Prepare to have your mind blown as you experiment with the chemistry, physics, and tools behind some of our favorite chemical reaction. Campers will make sticky, slimy, fizzy, and fluffy stuff out of simple materials. We will make some gooey slime, create some fun eruptions, and a lot more messy fun things this week!

3… 2… 1… Blast off! Get ready to launch to the moon and beyond in this fun-filled week of all things space! Launch stomp rockets, build a lander to get your astronauts safely back to Earth, and discover different parts of the galaxy. Along the way we’ll make discoveries, explore gravity, learn about the planets, and figure out why the International Space Station rotates!

The Art of Color (Gr. 1 to 3 in Fall 2023)

Everyone knows what their favorite color is, but do you know where colors come from and how colors are created? Campers will get to be part artists and part scientists, investigating color theory through light and pigment. Campers will create their own artist’s color wheels, witness color mixing through marbling paper, and conduct color-changing flower science experiments. We will explore the science of color by investigating rainbows, exploring chromatography, color mixing, painting, and more!
