This hands-on approach not only teaches children about the wonderful world of science, but it also gets them excited about applying scientific concepts to real-life situations.

We use simple, real world science techniques that allow even the youngest of campers to enjoy our learning environment. As a result, children will leave the camps with an expanded knowledge and a deeper passion for science and all of its components.

Our campers create, build and assemble a variety of take-home projects while exploring how science affects the world around us, and they have so much fun doing so that they forget that they are actually learning! Mad Science includes topics in: Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Ecology, Kinesiology and Forensics.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

We strive to accommodate a variety of interests, needs, and abilities at camp. However, our physical layout, activities, and staffing levels may limit our ability to meet a child’s special needs. In addition, our age restrictions are in place to ensure that campers have abilities, endurance, and attention spans appropriate to our camp activities and schedule. We recognize that every child is unique, and are willing to discuss any special considerations on an individual basis in order to determine if our camp is appropriate for your child.
