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!
