Ages 4 to 7 – For this age group, some of the projects include making a kaleidoscope, creating & launching a straw rocket, making a catapult and building a paddle boat that floats. Kids will also be introduced to coding using Blue-Bot, a bluetooth programmable floor robot.
Ages 8 to 13 – In this group, kids will be introduced to many STEM concepts thru hands on projects such as creating a wigglebot (homemade motorized robot), a solar oven that will cook s’mores, building a ferris wheel with popsicle sticks and awesome science experiments such as making hot ice and elephant toothpaste.
Creative Chefs (AM) & Crafts (PM) (Ages 4 to 7) (Ages 8 to 13)
Campers will learn the basics of preparing meals & snacks. They will make meals that they can have for their lunch that day. Vegetarian meals can be accommodated. Menu changes every session.
