KINDERGARTEN - GRADE 1

GRADES 4 - 5

Our K-Grade 1 camps are perfect for easing the transition into the structure of a classroom in a fun, social and stimulating way.

Campers will gain valuable social skills, with emphases on cooperative play, exploration and critical thinking–all designed to get them excited and comfortable as they look forward to the new school year.

At this age, science content becomes more focused, and at school, the structure of formal education sometimes does not permit individual students to explore their interests in a way that best suits their learning style. Our camps provide a suite of highly interactive and engaging sessions that are designed to help students delve into a topic of interest in an informal, handson environment.

Camp themes will be as follows: O O O O O O O O

Camp themes will be as follows:

LEGO: City Scape - June 13 - 17 Chemical Concoctions - June 20 - 24 Space Explorer - June 27 - July 1 Wild About Weather - July 5 - 8 Treasure Hunter - July 11 - 15 Skywalker’s Galaxy - July 18 - 22 Jr. Engineer - July 25 - 29 LEGO: City Scape - August 1 - 5

GRADES 2 - 3 Campers in Grades 2 and 3 are all about one thing–hands-on exploration. Our camps are specially designed to highlight exploration and foster creativity in a highly interactive and social environment. We focus on using the scientific method and engineering design process to enhance our learning and build a base for successful scientific investigation.

GRADES 6 - 8 Research shows that when it comes to science and math, we tend to lose kids during their Middle School years, either due to changing interests or limited resources available through school.

Our 6-8 Grade camps are designed with this in mind. We focus on real-world applications, careers and experiences in an effort to re-engage interest and ignite that scientific spark.
