The All Day STEAM Camps give students the opportunity to attend both the morning and afternoon camps. Mornings start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 12:00. We will have your child eat a packed lunch brought from home with us between 12:00 and 1:00, supervised free time. The afternoon sessions start at 1:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. For the All Day STEAM Camp, you will receive a reduction in the rate of signing up for two camps. Camps are generally for children 8 and older, but some camps are great for kids as young as 6 (painting/drawing, jewelry making, ceramics, design challenge, astronomy and weather/climate). We will differentiate for students of all ages for these camps! If you need to drop your child off earlier than 8 or pick them up later than 5, please let us know your needs! We've decided to also offer a camp for our younger kiddoes (3 to 6) the weeks of July 15-19 AND August 12-16, 2024 -
In astronomy camp, kids will learn details about our solar system and our galaxy. We’ll talk with Astrobiologists about their research to find life on other planets. We’ll figure out ways to get humans from Earth to Mars, and how we can sustain life there, which involves some chemistry. Students will learn how a telescope works. They will build one of two different types of simple telescopes—an astronomical and a terrestrial telescope—each with a magnification of 5X. They then experiment with the different telescope designs and determine how the lens combination in each telescope works to magnify an object’s image. At the end of the week, students can take their telescope home so that they can look at the stars. -
This class will excite kids who want to figure out how stuff works, build it and redesign it to make it even better. The design challenges are generally related to engineering designs, but can also be chemical, biological or mechanical. Students will decide on their design challenge and then construct their “machine” by mid-week. Then, they will test and redesign their project before taking it home. -
Our little kids' discovery camps are generally for ages 3 to 6 years old and are all STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) based. The morning sessions are more about the arts and the afternoon sessions are about the science, math, technology and engineering. Each day, students will go home with something that they created, such as a drawing, a piece of pottery, jewelry, model of a rocket, the building they made, and so much more. Here, you can choose either a morning option (8-12) or an afternoon option (1-5). If you need to drop off earlier or pick up later, please just let us know. If you are interested in a full-day camp for this age group, please click HERE. -
This year, we've added weather and climate to our camps. Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a certain time and place. Climate is the weather in general over a long period of time. We'll learn about how precipitation and wind forms by doing hands-on activities, learn about where it comes from and how it changes. We'll study the effects of CO2 concentrations in our atmosphere, where it comes from, its impact on the weather, ocean's acidity and the chemistry of how we might be able to decrease the human impact on our planet. Kids will decide what they want to create as their take-home product.
