Uncover mysteries of far-off galaxies

Campers in grades 1 through 6 will explore the mysteries of the cosmos through hands-on science investigations. Topics include The Sun, Moon, and Electromagnetic Spectrum. Our experienced camp counselors will lead campers through exciting team-building exercises and standards-aligned activities.

These activity-based, week-long day camps meet Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm with graduation and family activities on Friday evening (circumstances pending.) We enroll campers based on the grade they will be entering in the Fall. For example, if your child will be attending 2nd grade this fall, they should be enrolled in the 1st/2nd camp.
