Mad Machine and Robots (Ages 8-11)
Whether your child loves to build things or destroy them, this week of camp includes lots of both! The junior Mad Science engineers will design and build structures using simple tools and their imaginations. Kids will even construct a geodesic dome big enough for all the campers to sit inside! Children will discover how many different machines, simple & complex, we use in our daily lives by designing simple machines using pulleys, wedges, screws and levers and have fun learning how catapults work. We will all build robots that you can keep, all the while learning the science of robotics.
Crazy Chemistry (Ages 6-11)
We'll explore and create exciting chemical reactions, make colorful concoctions and bubbling brews. Amaze yourself with magical temperature changing baggie science or disappearing ghost crystals. Study the chemistry involved in not-so-simple things like chalk and soap, and even experiment with the chemistry used by artists, spies and detectives.
Into the Garden (Ages 3-5)
Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? In this camp preschoolers will learn all about how their gardens grow, from the very first seedling, to the important roles of sun and rain, to the amazing plants and flowers that sprout and bloom. They will also get acquainted with the many insect inhabitants of their gardens, and how those insects help make their gardens so beautiful.
