 June 17-18 - Creepy Crawly Camp

Campers will experience nature through insects. Campers will learn about insect characteristics, identification, mimicry and more. Campers will demonstrate what they learn on an insect safari.

June 20-21- Lost In Space Camp

Through fun, hands-on activities, campers will explore the excitement and wonder of space and their solar system. After a “space exploration” gone awry, campers will use GPS and work as a team to find their way home.

Campers will "move and groove" to their favorite music and learn to make healthy snacks. This camp will cover many health topics using hands-on activities campers will enjoy.

July 8-10 - Junk Drawer Robotics Camp  

Campers will explore the design and function of robotic arms, hands and grippers and build a robotic arm that really moves. Campers will also design and build machines that roll, slide, draw or move underwater and explore robot mobility, movement, power transfer and locomotion. (3 day camp)

July 18-19 - Film Making Camp 

Campers will experience filmmaking and videography, and will produce, direct and star in their own mini movies.
