Campers will design, create, and explore all things that can move. With a bit of help from physics, we will develop fun rubber band-powered cars, paper airplanes, and even kinetic toys such as marble runs. In each class, we will discover new ways to set material in motion using gravity, wind, and stored energy.
Secret identities, disguises, gadgets, decoders and more! In this camp we will think like private detectives and delve into the worlds of mystery and intrigue.
Is your camper ready to explore the ocean? This camp explores different ocean habitats and the animals that live there! We will learn about sea creatures through stories, daily crafts, games, and a hunt for treasure!
Using simple materials, we will learn how to construct the components of a miniature golf course. Campers will determine the length, shape, structure, traps and ramps! Will it be winding? Will it have obstacles? How can we create the components that move? On Friday, groups will take turns visiting our all-camp mini golf course creation!
Steam is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. This week is jam-packed with fun activities within the five subjects to encourage creativity, learning, and problem-solving. Each day we will explore different hands-on outdoor activities, science experiments and engineering challenges!
Calling all Superheroes, and Villains too! Does your camper have superpowers? This summer camp is in danger from the dastardly and devious Storm-Man! He means to make summer miserable for everyone, sending rain to wash all the fun away! This calls for a superhero (or 20…) to the rescue! Friday we will present our newly created Superheroes and Villains to the rest of camp.
Hello folks! Step right up to Carnival camp! This week the campers put their minds together to create their own carnival games and prizes. From cardboard skee-ball, balloon animals, and even a dunk tank, the campers are the creators! On Friday, it all comes together for a fun, all-camp carnival, where campers can showcase their creations, play games and win prizes.
Open up your child’s view of the universe through science and art projects that explore the stars and beyond! We will study everything from rockets to solar systems, going where no summer camp has gone before!
Put on your city planning hats! This camp is all about imagination, invention and collaboration. Campers will use various supplies and materials ranging from fabric and perler beads to cardboard, and 3D printers to design and create their own storefronts, store names and products. Campers can collaborate with a friend or make one on their own! Create your wares by hand or use a ChompShop and laser cutter to develop your ideas. On Friday, all the town’s parts will be assembled in one space, open for all campers to run their stores and visit different parts of town!
