Campers participate in hands-on activities that explore environmental science, earth science, geology, and marine science through experiments, outdoor exploration, and group projects. They learn about ecosystems, pollution, conservation, weather, climate, rocks, minerals, fossils, oceans, and marine life. Activities include building water filtration systems, creating food webs, identifying rocks and minerals, making fossil imprints, building and erupting model volcanoes, growing crystals, and creating ocean zone diagrams. Campers also take part in nature walks, environmental scavenger hunts, and outdoor observations where they collect and study natural materials like rocks, soil, and leaves. Throughout the camp, students work in teams to complete science projects and presentations, helping build teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. The camp focuses on interactive learning, creativity, and real-world science concepts so campers can better understand the Earth, environment, and oceans in a fun and engaging way.

Get ready to think, create, and play! In Game Design Camp, kids step into the role of inventors as they design and build their very own games. From brainstorming ideas to creating rules, boards, and pieces, campers will explore what makes a game fun, fair, and exciting. Throughout the week, campers will dive into both hands-on and digital game design. They’ll invent original board and card games, play a variety of games together to learn how they work, then experiment with basic coding concepts using beginner-friendly platforms (like Scratch-style programs) to bring simple digital games to life. Collaboration is a big part of the process—campers will play-test each other’s games, give feedback, and make improvements, just like real game designers. By the end of camp, each child will have a finished game to share and the confidence to keep creating. This camp builds creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and logical thinking, all while having a blast!

This camp is a fun and engaging introduction to science using everyday items found at home, showing campers that discovery doesn’t require a lab to be exciting or meaningful. Through hands-on exploration, students learn how common materials can demonstrate important scientific principles while also gaining an understanding of basic safety and why certain substances should or should not be combined. The camp emphasizes curiosity, observation, and critical thinking, helping campers connect science to their daily lives and recognize the science happening all around them. By the end, students walk away with a stronger sense of confidence, awareness, and appreciation for how science shapes the world they interact with every day.

Get ready for a fun-filled camp where movies come to life beyond the screen! In this exciting camp, younger students will explore the world of film by watching, talking about, and enjoying some great PG-rated movies, all while making tasty movie-themed snacks and joining in on creative activities. We’ll use movies as stories we can “read” together! Campers will learn about storytelling by exploring characters, plot, and how stories are put together in a way that’s fun and easy to understand. Through guided discussions and activities, students will begin to think about why characters make certain choices and what lessons we can learn from each film. Campers will share their thoughts in fun, open conversations and connect what they see on screen to their own lives. With hands-on projects, games, and snack-making inspired by each movie, this camp is the perfect mix of creativity, learning, and fun! Perfect for young movie lovers, curious thinkers, and imaginative storytellers—this camp is sure to be a hit!

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.
