Science Camps

orange box

This page gives a detailed description of camps that are Science only. We also have camps that are combinations of science with art or science with technology or all three. To see those you will need to click on the link to the left. To see all camps for a specific age group, please click on the Ages link.

Science only subjects for this summer have two themes:

  • Investigative Sciences
  • Time, Space and Flight Camps

These are described below.

Investigative Science

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

  • This is a great “Who dun it?” adventure!
  • 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.

Option S 5-CSI:  Crime Scene Investigation (Ages 9-12) 

To learn more about this curricula please view our Parent Letter.

Are you ready to understand the serious science that takes place behind the yellow crime scene tape? Well, this is your chance! In order to succeed at solving this crime we must unravel clues and secret messages-both invisible and cryptic. Each clue will make us learn a new skill to be better investigative scientist. These skills include:

  • Learning to dust for and analyze fingerprints
  • Collecting and comparing, foot prints and lip prints
  • Handwriting analysis
  • Using microscopes to analyze hair, fibers and powders
  • Using flame test and LOTS of chemistry to analyze powders.
  • Cell and DNA analysis using microscopes, models and DNA extraction
  • Plant analysis
  • Comparing Bite Marks and skeletal clues
  • Blood and Hair Analysis
This is one cool camp!

  • 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
    • Make glow in the dark galaxies
    • Go through astronaut boot camp!
  • Don't miss this exciting adventure! This camp fills up very fast!
  • Note: Please see option S 1 for a younger version of this camp.

Option S 3: BLAST OFF! an Intro to Flight (Ages 9-12)

This exciting program takes our future pilots and astronauts to a whole new level.
  • Join us as we explore the basics of flight. We will learn about Bernoulli's Principal and the forces that affect flight such as Lift, Thrust, Drag and Weight
  • Use our flight simulator and fly radio controlled planes and more!
  • We will learn about overcoming Inertia as we make our own rockets and planes and test them.
  • We will make and use Water and Air Pressure assisted rockets, Chemical rockets and Estes rockets.
