Summer Day Camp

Hello! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! Hola! Ni Hao! Chao! We are dedicated to introducing your little chef to all the world has to offer, one dish at a time. Upon arrival, each student receives a culinary passport, granting them access to a new country every day. In each country, we create local dishes from scratch, learn proper cooking and preparation techniques, and explore history, culture, geography, and even a little math and science along the way.  On our journey, we will discover new ingredients and flavors, challenge ourselves to expand our knowledge and skills, and most of all, have a ton of fun!

Let your kid’s imagination run wild! Campers will complete collaborative and project-based activities that will encourage them to invent new things to boost their creativity, visualization skills, and their ability to think critically. With a little bit of ingenuity, you’ll construct catapults and forts, build amazing planes that fly through the air, and assemble a working light saber to take home. While Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, this camp is 100% fun!

We encourage experimenting, tinkering, building, observing, exploring, problem solving, and creating as students make animal habitats, find creative ways for conservation, and find solutions to weather challenges. STEM challenges will help kids fall in love with the world around them as they begin to see things through a scientific eye.

Kids LOVE the AMAZING tactile sensory experience slime provides! Glitter, butter, rainbow, flubber, floam, and fluffy slime all provide that fun squishy and stretchy texture that just begs to be played with. While busy mixing and measuring campers will learn about the unique chemical composition that makes up slime! Who knew leaning about mixtures, molecules, polymers, viscosity, and chemical reactions could be so much fun?

Shake up a flask of fun in the lab and become a junior chemist! Our little mad scientists will be encouraged to do what real chemists do: make predictions, design, and modify experiments, make observations, and draw reasonable conclusions as they conduct easy experimental procedures that enlighten young minds. Learn to recognize chemical reactions and mix up a few reactive ingredients for some sensational results. Campers have a blast as they make some crazy concoctions!

AWE-STEM candy challenges using scientific properties to teach kids how to solve problems systematically by opening your own candy factory lab with easy to do candy science activities that will make you feel like Willy Wonka himself. Skittles, M&M’s, Pop Rocks, gum drops, and chocolate are perfect for exploring science concepts. Taste, touch, see, smell, and hear our candy science activities. We will use candy to make your kids smarter and your kids will love you for it (because it’s CANDY!)

Pirate and mermaid themed hands-on science combine the classic fun of pretend with real-scientist discovery.  Campers will discover the science of how pirates sailed the seas and mermaids explore them with activities about oceanography, meteorology, chemistry, astronomy, nutrition and more.

STEAM takes STEM to the next level: it allows students to connect their learning in these critical areas together with arts practices, elements, design principles, and standards to provide the whole pallet of learning at their disposal. STEAM removes limitations and replaces them with wonder, inquiry, and innovation.

Interactive and engaging trips to the exciting world of outer space. We will take you to the moons of Jupiter and explore the possibility of life on these distant worlds. Kids work closely together in a hands-on way learning problem solving skills and critical thinking as they work through the principals of STEM to construct Stars, Constellations, rockets, and other out of this world creations.

Real-world connections are a fantastic way to get kids excited about engineering and science. The Summer Olympics are here, so it’s the perfect time to harness kids’ excitement and show them how science shapes everything from an athlete’s safety equipment to many of the Olympic events. Campers will get moving, learn about teamwork and the Olympic games.
