Our Camp Themes
NASA Academy of Future Space Explorers
Blast off with a camp designed and created by NASA engineers! Train to become a future space explorer, and get set on a trajectory from our Earth’s atmosphere to the outer reaches of our solar system! This hands-on program will bring you closer to the stars, planets, comets, and more. Learn about living in space, get away from gravity, look for space phenomena, and participate in a rocket launch!
Science in Motion
Discover how things move with science! Each day, learn about a different realm of the scientific world. Become a zoologist and study the lives of birds! Step into the shoes of an engineer to learn all about structures & simple machines. Put on your lab coat and be a chemist for the day! You’ll get to make and bring home animal houses, challenging puzzles, chemistry based creations, and more!
Dinosaurs & Ancient Worlds
Dig up dinosaurs and the ancient past! Use evidence to solve real-life mysteries! Learn about archaeology and the techniques scientists use to excavate fossils and long-lost cities. Study bone fragments, pottery shards, and amber deposits to understand what they can tell us about history. Take-home project include a fossil reproduction, an amber time capsule, and coins from around the world!
Crazy Chemworks
This action-packed summer camp is bubbling over with classic experiments and crazy concoctions! Get to know lab basics, then jump into the incredible world of chemistry! Perform spectacular hands-on activities using real science equipment and tools. Witness stunning demonstrations involving slime, dry ice, and more. Learn and apply concepts and techniques just like a real chemist!
Flight Academy
Calling all future pilots! As a Mad Science flight cadet, you will take a nosedive into the world of aerodynamics. Build your own kite, test stunt planes, and watch as we launch model rockets over 200 feet into the air! Then, set your eyes to the distant skies, and learn about outer space. Take a tour of the galaxies and learn more about the incredible place where we live: the Milky Way!
Eureka!
Creative Contraption Warning! This is a camp designed by you—the Inventor! Each day you’ll be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from famous inventors, and the most important thing of all – your mind. With a little bit of ingenuity, you will create catapults and forts, construct working light sticks to take home, and assemble circuits.
Secret Agent Lab
Suspects! Schematics! Sleuths! Uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis and fingerprinting detection. Train your recall and observation skills and learn how to use spy equipment! Connect the dots using science to help solve a crime in this hands-on investigation. Every day, you’ll get a new set of tools to continue your sleuthing at home!
Red Hot Robots
Learn about the uses of robots in the world. Spend time playing with our super cool red-hot robots. Discover robots that can “see” and “hear” and learn how they navigate the world around them! Compare the anatomy of a robot to that of our own! Use your skills to build your very own working robot to take home to “live” with you. Experiment with programming robots, learn about circuitry, and more!
