Our Mission
Our "Science Journeys" Summer Camp combines innovative science projects, critical thinking activities, and traditional camp fun and games with unsurpassed customer service. Our goal is for every camper to leave with inner science-confidence and outer self-confidence. As parents and professionals the founders are personally committed to overseeing every aspect of your child's program.

The Staff
Science Matters in America is proud of the fine group of educators that participate in "The Ultimate Camp Experience". Our extensive recruiting program searches across the Front Range for top quality teachers. Every Summer Camp teacher comes to us highly referred, undergoes extensive screening and comprehensive training. They are selected for their educational credentials, proven ability to work with elementary grade students and their enthusiasm for science. We hire the best and it shows!


Science Activities
The "Science Journeysce" Summer Camp program is developed by a professional curriculum design team. Lessons are thematically grouped to create unique camp topics. We base every activity on important science concepts as defined by the National Science Standards. Campers increase their familiarity with these science standards as they "work like scientists" through experimental design processes. Our development team searches around the world for the most imaginative and "hottest" child-friendly materials to bring scientific concepts to life.

Camps at a Glance
Campers are assigned by age to a group of thirteen students. The day begins with "Camp Rally"; a fast tempo mix of camp songs, camp spirit and recognition of camper character. Next all groups work on their "Morning Building Project"; an exciting long-term science project that campers expand on day by day. In addition, campers participate in three unique hands-on science experiences daily. Campers takes home three completed projects each day!

Afternoon imaginations spike as campers enter the "Creative Problem-Solving Zone" where, as a team, they solve fun and unusual challenges. Intermittent doses of traditional camp games and festivities helps bond friendships and renew spirits. The day is well-planned, highly structured and extremely busy. Parents have consistently rated our program with top honors!


Camp Schedules and Locations
The "Science Journeys" Summer Camp has four topics this summer, each lasting five days, Monday through Friday. Each camper can register for one to four topics. Parents sign their camper in each morning at 9:00 am and out each afternoon at 3:30 pm (except Herzl/RMHA 9-4, Odyssey/Westerly Creek 9-4).
