STEAM DISCOVERY SUMMER CAMP
CAMP INFORMATION & LOGISTICS
Welcome to the hybrid camp that takes learning out of the classroom and onto the streets! Our field trips are like magic wands, bringing theory to life and showing how it shapes the world around us. But wait, there's more! We've got interactive games, hands-on explorations, and even sports skills enrichment to get everyone moving and grooving. Get ready for a journey beyond the books!
This year we will focus on DISCOVERIES for ages 3.5 - 8! Each week your child will embark on a fun filled, action packed STEAM enriched experience that prioritizes hands-on discovery, experimental, exploration, inquiry-based learning that feel like games, & most importantly FUN! Campers then get to put their theories to practice as we make real world connections by exploring the city and communities around us!
Our experienced staff headed by Founder Ms. Mack will offer a well-rounded experience that focuses on quirky & wacky STEAM components, social emotional growth, building confidence, expanding curiosity, exploration, and memories to last a lifetime! Note: Children must be fully potty trained prior to the start of selected camp
