July 10 - 14

Doctor's Detectives & DNA

Campers will use forensic science to solve a crime A visit to Cell City will reveal the inner workings of DNA while a trip down the Organ Trail will provide a Body Portrait Explore the wonders of gravity, balance and the science behind the illusive sweet spot. Build the strongest helmet for our friend Eggbert in our safe egg challenge. We will discover how to get a rainbow in a test tube and build a Potato Power Plant during a day of radical chemical reactions

Aug. 14 - 18

Flight Academy

The week will fly by as we travel through time looking at the earliest flying machines right up to modern day rocket launches Become a Junior Aviator and discover the principals of flight and aerodynamics. Zip up your space suit for a planetary tour while we investigate the wonders of our very own Milky Way. Join your fellow astronauts as we send an awesome Mad Science rocket to the moon…well at least into the sky! As Mad Science Technicians, you will build sundials, telescopes, parachutes and an incredible wind tunnel simulator. It will be a blast!

July 17 - 21

Claws, Codes & Constellations

A week of investigation and discovery await campers. Morse code and hidden messages will be decoded We will hunt down animal tracks and follow scent trails The wonders of gravity, balance and the science behind the elusive sweet spot will be investigated. We will be challenged not to break an egg during our crazy egg toss. An appreciation for the earth and the role science can play in preserving our planet will emerge The marvels of astronomy will be revealed when we make a telescope

Aug. 21 - 25

Brixology Camp

Set the foundation for our next generation of makers! Kids learn about different types of engineering and then team up to construct a different engineeringthemed project using LEGO® bricks They learn about aerospace engineering while assembling a space station. They explore mechanical engineering as they build boats and vehicles. From carnival rides to drawing machines, mechanical animals to truss bridges, your future engineer will build upon their creativity to solve real-world design challenges, while developing their problem-solving and team-building skills.

July 31 - Aug. 4 Rocket Camp

Yes we are Rocket Scientists! And you can be too! Blast to the top of the class with an in depth look at all things ROCKET! This action packed week focuses on the physics, parts of a rocket and rocket launches. You will experience every aspect of rocket launching as you join a different crew each day. Prepare for launch, send your rockets into the sky and track their altitudes as we launch 10 different rockets each week! You are certain to have a blast exploring, building and launching many varieties of rockets

Aug. 28 - Sept. 1 'Eureka!' Camp

Children will overcome a series of challenges using basic materials, simple machines, tips from famous inventors and the most important of all – their mind With a little bit of ingenuity children will create catapults and forts, construct working light sticks to take home and assemble a set of circuits with batteries and light bulbs. While Thomas Edison said "invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration", this is 100% FUN!
