Turn the pages on some of your favorite stories and discover the scientist within! “If you give a” camper a science experiment, “then” will they want to try another? How many letters can you get to “the top of the coconut tree”? And how many “red fish” and “blue fish” can we find in the museum’s aquariums?

Explore the funny, silly, and playful side of the animal kingdom! Campers will meet several animal friends who call the Science Spectrum home, watch Animalopolis in the OMNI Theater, and make their own animal disguises.

Not sure what to do with all that leftover wrapping and boxes after your holiday celebrations? We will build and test structures made from wrapping paper, invent something new with old boxes, and make artwork with recycled materials.

Science and art collide in this creative camp. Paint with states of matter, make a rainbow with chemistry, and sculpt with nature’s inspiration. Be sure to wear something that can get messy!

Old school and new school gaming collide in this Making camp. Get an introduction to computer coding as you design your own on screen video game. Once coded, let other campers try to get the high score on your game. Then we will turn the screens off as we design and build interactive cardboard arcade games. We may even become characters in life size versions of some of our favorite games!

Just because they are called “simple machines” doesn’t mean they can’t do amazing things! Work together and complete engineering challenges featuring simple machines like pulleys, screws, wheels, and more. Then combine ideas to build one mega Rube Goldberg machine.
