Become a scientist for the week! In the morning, we will learn about atoms, molecules, pH, and chemical reactions through tons of exciting hands-on activities. Campers will experiment with freezing points using ice cream and explore the science of fireflies by making their own glow sticks!
In the afternoon, campers will explore the oceans by building a model submarine and taking a dive to learn how creatures use camouflage in the deep ocean. Design a new fish species and make a map of your own sea floor creations. There’s an ocean of mysteries waiting to be discovered!
