  • New format!
  • Does your child want to become an astronaut? Do they REALLY like Rockets?
  • Would they like to travel to the time of the dinosaurs? Learn what's deep in a cave? Well, this is the camp they have been waiting for!
  • We take the children on an adventure of a lifetime as we imagine ourselves in prehistoric times where we:
    • Learn about dinosaurs
    • Make fossils and pan for gold!
  • We will study the dynamic earth as we:
    • Build and blast off volcanoes
    • Create a Cave in a Box as we learn about Spelunking
    • Learn about the animals, microbes and geology of cave systems
    • Study Rocks and Crystals and grow our own!
    • Learn about earthquakes and so much more
  • If that's not enough, we will blast off into space as we:
    • Make and blast off Balloon Rockets, Bottle Rockets, Chemical Rockets, Straw Rockets, and Estes Rockets.
    • Learn about Newton's Law as we make a Newtons Car and a Balloon Car and learn the principles of rocket flight
    • Go through astronaut boot camp!
  • Don't miss this exciting adventure! This camp fills up very fast!

Option S 4-Spies and Sleuths (Ages 6-8) 

  • This is a great “Who dun it?” adventure! Please see Parent Letter Here!
  • Dr. Lipid is back and boy is he mad! Our arch enemy is up to no good and we have to stop him!
  • We are the O.X.Y.S. (Only Excellent Youth Scientist ) and we must match our wits against Dr. Lipid, Head of the Organization of M.O.R.O.N.S. (Magical Ogres Reshaping Our Natural Systems). The children will learn many exciting science principles as they learn to solve a crime scene and track Dr. Lipid!
  • In order to succeed at solving this crime we must unravel clues and secret messages-both invisible and criptic. Each clue will make us learn a new skill to be better investigative scientist. These skills include:
    • Becoming fingerprint, foot print and lip print detectives!
    • Learning Spy Games
    • Making Alarms to protect our headquarters-the children will learn about circuits.
    • Make and take home a periscope to spy around corners with!
    • Using microscopes we will learn to analyze hair, fibers and powders
    • Useing flame test and LOTS of chemistry to analyze powders.
  • The children will have a grand finale crime scene to practice the skills they have learned.

Science and Technology Camp

This camp combines science with LEGO® Education's Motorized Machines!

Option STR 7: TechnoBot: The Worm Hole Adventure(Ages 6-7)

Click here to see the Parent Letter. This will be an incredible combination of science and Technology where we will use the LEGO Education WeDo Robots, Early Simple Machines and Motorized Machines along with experiments that boggle your mind and have the children saying “NO WAY!” We are the O.X.Y.S. (Only Excellent Youth Scientist ) and we must match our wits against Dr. Lipid, Head of the Organization of M.O.R.O.N.S. (Magical Ogres Reshaping Our Natural Systems) AGAIN! We have found the lab of Dr. Lipid, our arch enemy. We discovered that he plans to build a submarine that can go though a worm hole in space! We must discover why and fast! Where is he taking it?

  • To help our O.X.Y.S. solve this mystery and understand the strange combinations of diagrams on the wall of Dr. Lipids lab we must:
    • Learn how to build a Hydrometer and Submarine!
    • Learn Physiology as we investigate bones, muscles and blood. Use microscopes
    • Understand Physics and Structures and build, build, build!
  • In addition to all of this the students will use LEGO® Technology with the following:
    • Students will get their first introduction to robotics with the newly introduced LEGO® Education WeDo™ Robotics Software and Construction Set. Students will learn how to program and create a working model, use software media to acquire information, and use feedback to adjust a programming system output. The students will explore a series of cross-curricular, theme-based activities while developing their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as language and literacy.
    • Early Simple Machines and Motorized Machines, the students will focus on one of the following programs: Gears, Levers, Pulleys or Wheels and Axles. Working in teams of two, your child will learn the scientific principles above while getting comfortable with building using the LEGO TECHNIC® pieces. This program will improve your child’s problem solving skills while encouraging team work.
    • There is so much more we cannot begin to cover it here,the only question is will you send your child or yourself to this Incredible Camp!

Art, Science and Technology Combinations
