STEAM Studio
Let’s celebrate National Arts & Humanities Month this October with a full-day immersive STEAM experience where creativity, innovation, and imagination come together!
Campers will step into the Digital Creator and Innovation Studio and explore hands-on activities that blend art, design, and technology, all grounded in real issues that matter to them. Students will choose a topic they care about and use it as the inspiration for their creative projects.
Throughout the day, campers will create digital art and animations, design 3D sculptures, and explore music and sound creation to bring their ideas to life, drawing inspiration from famous works of art and issues they care about. They’ll then collaborate on a large-scale projection art project, combining their work into a shared “moving mural” that shows how art and technology can merge into something dynamic and larger-than-life!

Eco-Innovators
Celebrate the fall season with a hands-on Day Camp full of creativity, building, and real-world problem solving!
Campers will step into the role of innovators as they take on exciting, fall-inspired STEAM challenges. Throughout the day, students will design smart cities or creative homes, build and test water and energy systems, and jump into invention labs using recycled materials. They’ll also explore how ecosystems work through interactive modeling and food chain challenges, while tackling real-world design problems that connect to everyday life.
Get ready for a high-energy day of building, experimenting, and creating, where big ideas come to life and innovation is in full harvest!

Heroes & Innovation
This Veterans Day, join us for an action-packed Day Camp celebrating service, innovation, and the powerful ideas created through military research that continue to shape our everyday lives!
Campers will explore how military personnel, engineers, and scientists work together to design inventions that solve real-world problems and keep people safe. From technologies like GPS and walkie-talkies to drones to Kevlar protective gear and drones, students will discover how innovations developed through military service now impact transportation, safety, and communication around the world.
Inspired by these real-world breakthroughs, campers will take on exciting STEAM challenges where they design their own problem-solving inventions. They will also create digital tributes and storytelling projects that honor service members while connecting innovation to everyday life.
This will be a day of creativity, purpose, and invention, where campers see how the innovations of yesterday inspire the problem solvers of tomorrow!

Heart of STEAM
Explore the amazing science of the human body at our Heart of STEAM Day Camp, where students discover how the heart works as a powerful engine of energy, movement, and life!
Campers will dive into hands-on STEAM investigations focused on heart health, energy, and the body in motion. Through active, kinesthetic experiences, students will measure their own heart rates, explore how exercise affects energy and performance, and collect real data to see how the body responds to movement. They’ll use that data to make predictions, analyze patterns, and better understand how the heart powers everything we do!

LEGO Builders & Stop Motion
Campers will step into the role of builders, engineers, and storytellers as they bring imagination to life, brick by brick!
Campers will explore hands-on LEGO® Education kits alongside open-ended freestyle building challenges, designing, constructing, and testing creative solutions through both guided STEM builds and unlimited creative construction. Every activity encourages kids to think like designers, problem-solvers, and inventors as they turn ideas into real, working models.
Campers will also dive into stop-motion animation, using their LEGO creations to produce their own short films. By building scenes, capturing frame-by-frame movement, and adding storytelling elements, students will transform their models into dynamic LEGO shorts that showcase both engineering and imagination!

Weather Wonders
Inspired by Weather Hunters on PBS KIDS®, this exciting Day Camp invites young explorers to step into the role of meteorologists as they investigate the powerful and ever-changing world of weather!
Campers will dive into hands-on STEAM challenges to learn how weather forms, how it changes, and how it impacts our daily lives. Through engaging, interactive experiences, students will observe patterns in the sky, explore extreme weather events, and discover the science behind forecasting. Each activity encourages curiosity, observation, and problem-solving as campers think like real weather scientists.
Campers will also step into the Digital Creator Studio, where they’ll create their own weather news reports. Using visuals, storytelling, and simple media tools, students will forecast the weather, explain conditions, and present their findings like real meteorologists sharing updates with the public.
A day full of discovery, investigation, and excitement awaits!
