Uncover mysteries of far-off galaxies
Campers in grades 1 through 6 will explore the mysteries of the cosmos through hands-on science investigations. Our experienced camp counselors will lead campers through exciting team-building exercises and activities aligned with state science standards.
These activity-based, week-long day camps run Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, with free family activities on Friday evening. Our summer program is split into three different classrooms, or Orbits. Campers are grouped by the grade they will be entering in the upcoming school year. For example, if your child will be attending 2nd grade this fall, they should be enrolled in the 1st/2nd camp, or The Orbit of Mercury.
**Students must be at least 6 years of age or have completed Kindergarten to register for the 2026 summer camp.**
