We're excited to bring our youngest campers a brand new camp that will take them on a tour of the human body! Mini Medical School will introduce campers to the career of being a doctor and all that it entails. They'll practice bandaging the boos-boos of their stuffed animal and caring for the patient, and they'll even get their own medical and first aid kit to bring home at the end of the week! Campers will also be learning about some of the different body systems and organs that keep our bodies alive and functioning. 

They'll make their own stethoscope and inflatable lungs and models of the heart and the human eyeball! They will even learn about x-rays and learn how doctors use them to figure out if there is a "boo boo" that we can't see from the outside of the body. Each lesson consists of an engaging hands-on activity or experiment where campers will not only learn but have fun. 

Activities and experiments include building a first aid kit, hand washing challenge, parts of the blood, anatomy puzzle, splinting, how to use a syringe (No Needle!), and many other activities. We will introduce campers to the book "Good Night Little Doctor".

Written by physicians, Goodnight, Little Doctor is a beautifully illustrated, rhyming bedtime story that introduces children to lifelong lessons in medicine. This enchanting tale emphasizes the importance of integrity, seeing patients as individuals beyond their symptoms, and focusing on healing, not just curing, their illnesses. Through captivating rhymes and stunning illustrations, this book creates a memorable reading experience that educates and inspires young minds. Each camper will receive their own copy to take home.

Campers will take home their own medical bag with the supplies they used in camp. Each camper will also receive a copy of the book, "Goodnight, Little Doctor”.

This camp is an introduction into the world of robotics. Campers will learn about the six simple machines and how they are incorporated into more complex machines. Campers will also learn about circuits and power sources as they build our “Mars-like” RC Rover. The radio-controlled RC Rover is capable of performing 23 experiments and activities. Campers will also have fun constructing our Aluminum Can Robot.

Campers will be able to take home the robots they build for hours of fun at the end of camp!

Young innovators become builders, coders, and problem-solvers! This isn't just a camp-it's a hands-on adventure designed to spark a lifelong passion for STEM through the exciting world of robotics. Guided by expert instructors, campers dive into building, coding, and engineering challenges in a fun, collaborative environment. From mastering the basics of design to experiencing the thrill of competition, they'll develop teamwork, critical thinking, and technical skills that last a lifetime.

Step into the ultimate robotics challenge! In our advanced camp, you'll design, build, and program your own competitive BattleBot using the powerful VEX Robotics system. Here, engineering, circuitry, and real-world coding with VEXcode Python come together as you construct a robot from the ground up, strategize for success, and test your creation in a week-long tournament. Are you ready to claim the title of robotics champion? The future of innovation starts here!

This unique camp will offer an incredible collection of projects and experiments that will amuse and amaze your little scientist! By being involved with several hands-on activities, your child will explore the basic scientific ideas that play a role in everyday life.

Sample Projects: Rocketry, Glowing Firefly, Edible Oceans, Marshmallow Catapults, Growing Radish Head, and Beeswax Candle.

In addition:
Campers will create and experiment with several other projects in the course of the week. This is a broad topic camp that teaches campers how the scientific method helps give us the answers to our many questions.

Campers learn about the life of physicians and surgeons, and are exposed to the  important life saving techniques of  first aid. Numerous hands-on projects include using medical instruments, triage and diagnosis, and how to give a shot. We also explore the structures and physiology of the amazing human body. 

Projects include:  Frog and Sheep Heart Dissection. Making herbal medicines, learning to stitch a wound, build a lung model, first aid techniques and splinting.

In addition: Each camper will receive a stethoscope, dissection kit, first aid supplies and take their "Medical Boards" at the end of the week to receive their certificate.

Step into the world of professional digital art in our digital art and animation summer camp! This is your chance to master the tools the pros use. You'll move beyond the basics, learning about layers, lighting, and advanced animation principles to create stunning, fluid animations. You'll build an impressive project to add to your portfolio and gain a deeper understanding of the entire creative process, from initial concept to a finished, high-quality animated short. Get ready to turn your passion into a serious skill.

This robotics camp is for our youngest campers and introduces them to robotics and programming using Kibo robots, which are designed for the youngest programmers.

Campers will build, program, decorate, and bring their own robots to life. Even though code looks like a foreign language, it's a language that anyone can pick up with some practice.

Meet KIBO, the screen-free robot, and learn to communicate with KIBO using wooden blocks of code.

Camp Young Scientist is a comprehensive survey covering the topics of Anatomy to Zoology. Camper's experiment and complete projects in human anatomy, botany, rocks and minerals, robotics, space, and electronics.

Campers engage in 20 projects including:

• Maker Space Workshop

• Creating Biodegradable plastics

• Candy DNA

• Clean Water Science

• Propeller Powered Car

• Galaxy Painting

• Toybox Science

• Frog Dissection

• Paracord Survival bracelet

• Go Fly a Kite!

• Build a weather station

• Building a solar oven

• Save the bees garden and bracelet

Welcome to Camp Crazy Contraptions, where young engineers embark on an exciting journey into the world of mechanical engineering!

Camp Crazy Contraptions Activities and experiments take campers on a journey of exploration through the eyes of an engineer.

Our camp offers engaging activities and experiments that ignite curiosity and foster teamwork while exploring the principles of engineering.

Young artists would design and build 3-D objects such as mosaic tiles, vases, mobiles, masks, piñatas, and more! Groups could work together in pairs to make larger projects or focus on their individual pieces. There would be pre-set projects for younger students to follow-along with the teacher, but older students would be allowed to pursue their own ideas or variations on the camp projects.

One day may include a field trip to the sculpture garden or a similar exhibit.

In examining masterworks and creating their own works of short fiction, poetry, and essays, students would dive deep into the craft of writing. Sessions would start with examining and analyzing a work or works by a great author, followed by a period of writing, editing, and sharing among the group. The sessions would emphasize honing their structure, pacing, expression, and overall construction.

There could be a day or two of holding class outdoors or at a coffee shop, and/or an excursion to a lecture by local author if an appropriate one is available. 

The camp could conclude by assembling a literary journal of students' favorite pieces or hosting an evening to present their works to an audience. 

The goal of this camp is to introduce and rehearse acting and presentation skills. Campers will practice storytelling, recitation, collaborative exercises, improvisational games, prop work, and stage presence. Camp will culminate with a (low-key) dramatic performance for parents based on a familiar fable or story.
