Summer Vacation Exploration Camps


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/18/2017
Campers in grades 1-6 will experience hands-on science enrichment through fun and engaging activities. Camps include structured activities with our STEM Educators, as well as supervised free time to explore the Science Center's galleries and exhibits.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

We offer Day Camps during school vacation as well as week-long programs in the summer. Each camp's theme helps develop science concepts, guiding campers to greater understanding of science material and its application to the real world. Kids can explore a different science theme at each camp!

CAMP DESCRIPTIONS

July 10-14: Droid Design Session A

Ever wonder how robots work? Explore robots from the inside out through coding and building, and then set them on a course to victory in exciting challenges! Beginner and advanced engineers will all have time to enjoy robots like EV3, Ozobots, and more!
Note: Robot engineers may only attend one week of robot camp to allow the maximum number of campers to participate.

July 17-21: Seven Wonders

Travel through time to explore the ancient and natural wonders of the world. Decipher an ancient code using the Rosetta Stone, then make paper like ancient Egyptians to write notes in code! Jump to modern times to investigate the newest wonders of the world, and work together to design the 8th world wonder!

July 24-28: Droid Design Session B

Ever wonder how robots work? Explore robots from the inside out through coding and building, and then set them on a course to victory in exciting challenges! Beginner and advanced engineers will all have time to enjoy robots like EV3, Ozobots, and more!
Note: Robot engineers may only attend one week of robot camp to allow the maximum number of campers to participate.

July 31-August 4: Enchanted Engineering

Who needs to be saved by a fairy godmother when you can engineer your solution? Design a sturdier beanstalk for Jack, protect Rapunzel’s hair by developing a pulley, and shield the Three Little Pigs from the Big, Bad Wolf. Create a happily ever after for these characters and more!

August 7-11: Earth Unlocked

Buckle up for the journey of a lifetime beginning at the center of the Earth and spanning all the way into space! Discover the secrets lying beneath the crust, become one with some of the creatures that walk the surface, and engineer your way into space. This camp will be out of this world!

August 14-18: Best of Science

You know who loves science just as much as the campers? The counselors! Join us for a week packed full of all our favorite experiments. New and returning campers will delight in coding robots, concocting potions, blowing bubbles, and building with LEGOS.
