Summer STEAM Camp – Little Kids’ Discovery Camp

$190.00

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.

Summer STEAM Camp – Soap & Candle Making (2024)

$190.00

We are so excited to add this new art class where students will learn the art of soap making, create different soaps to take home to use, sell or give as gifts. Half of our time will be spent on soaps and the other half will be candle making, which is much more complex than we might think. We'll start with hot candle making and then develop new candles using cold press. Students will decide on different designs, shapes, fragrances and colors. All of their creations will be sent home with students at the end of the week.

Summer STEAM Camp – Weather and Climate (2024)

$190.00

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.
