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!
