The schedule is as follows:
June 9-13: Physics & Math
This week brings hands-on exploration where physics and math come alive. Students will launch rockets, design egg-saving contraptions and craft their own musical instruments — all while uncovering the fascinating forces behind motion, sound and energy. Then, they dive into the playful side of math through puzzles, games and challenges that reveal the patterns hidden in everyday life. Whether solving the mystery of chicken nugget combinations, outsmarting friends in strategy games or figuring out how to guard an art gallery, they’ll use creativity, teamwork and critical thinking to see just how fun STEM can be.
June 30-July 3: Exploring Animal Behavior
This exciting, hands-on camp is all about discovering the fascinating ways animals interact with their environment — and with each other. Students will get up close with wild birds and study the tiny but mighty fruit fly in the lab. This session will focus on physiology and behavior.
July 14-18: Nature HERDventure Camp
This week, students explore the wild side of science. Each day brings a new adventure into the natural world as campers investigate plants, animals, soils, water and human impacts on the environment through hands-on experiments, field activities and exciting discoveries.
July 28-Aug. 1: Chemistry & Microbiology
During this week of camp, participants dive into the incredible world of microbes, chemistry and the amazing tardigrades — also known as water bears. In this hands-on camp, they explore tiny creatures that live all around us, from bacteria to fungi. Through exciting experiments and activities, they will learn how chemistry and microbiology come together to shape life at the smallest scale.
