🎨 Age-Appropriate Activities

This camp is designed for ages 5-12, and campers are often broken into smaller groups to ensure activities are age-appropriate, engaging, and tailored to their skill levels. Whether it’s flying drones, launching rockets, or mixing crazy concoctions, every child gets an exciting, hands-on experience suited to their age!

💦 Free Time & Water Play Every Day!

We know summer can be hot, so every camp will include plenty of free time and water play to keep cool and have fun! Whether it’s sprinklers, splash buckets, or creek time (depending on water levels)—there’s always a way to beat the heat and enjoy summer!

🛑 Safety & Fun First!

Safety is our top priority, and all activities will be supervised with plenty of helping hands to ensure that every child feels safe, supported, and engaged. We maintain a balance of fun and learning, with tons of hands-on exploration so campers can immerse themselves in science with confidence!

🎒 What to Bring & Wear

✔ Closed-toe shoes (a must for safety!)
✔ A snack & lunch
✔ Clothes that can handle getting messy
✔ Water shoes, a towel, & a water bottle
