Campers at TerraTaste Lab dive into a hands-on world where science, Earth, and culinary creativity meet. Each day blends outdoor exploration, lab experiments, and cooking adventures designed to spark curiosity and practical skills. Campers discover the science behind cooking—experimenting with fermentation, flavor chemistry, and molecular gastronomy—while learning sustainable, eco-friendly kitchen practices. Team Challenges encourage collaboration, such as creating edible ecosystems or solar-cooked meals, culminating in a camp showcase where campers present their discoveries and culinary creations. TerraTaste Lab inspires young minds to explore the natural world, understand scientific principles, and apply creativity to food and the environment.

Have you ever thought about what goes into making an anime series? All of the work before the show hits the screen? In this fast paced camp, students will collaborate together to create a single, 1-2 minute pilot episode animatic for an animated series. We will go all the way from brainstorming, to scripting, character design, backgrounds, voice over, and a smidge of animating to create one cohesive project as a group.

Myth & Earth Explorers is a hands-on camp where campers combine archaeology, history, mythology, art, science, and culinary exploration. Each day begins with outdoor investigations, including simulated excavations, soil and water sampling, and the study of rocks, fossils, and landscapes to understand ancient environments. In history and mythology sessions, campers learn about civilizations from Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Medieval eras, exploring myths, gods, and legendary figures. These lessons are reinforced through art projects, such as clay modeling, pottery, manuscript-style illustrations, and eco-friendly crafts inspired by the cultures studied. Culinary activities bring history to life, with campers preparing era-specific dishes, learning traditional ingredients, cooking methods, and food science principles. Team challenges and daily showcases integrate all elements, allowing campers to present experiments, artwork, myth-inspired stories, and historical dishes. This interdisciplinary approach encourages creativity, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of the natural, cultural, and mythical worlds.

Middle School Geology is a course designed for students in grades 5-9. Topics to be covered include the rock cycle, natural disasters, how to recognize different kinds of rocks, careers in geology, and more! Each week will be a combination of lecture and hands-on activities to reinforce the material covered. We will be meeting twice a week, on both Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday will be reserved for the lecture, while Thursday will be reserved for lab activities. Geology is best learned hands-on after all!
