Science and imagination join forces as campers experience the thrill of the 5 day Science Adventure Camps. Campers will learn anything from discovering how to create and operate magnets in the Physics Factory to making their very own flashlight and Ice Cream; and that was just day one of the camp! Each camp will consist of 4-5 days of nonstop adventures and projects created by our little scientists. The fun is never ending and the excitement continues as they bring their projects home for parents to share!
