Eureka! - The Inventor's Camp |
|
Creative Contraption Warning!
This is a camp designed by you—the Inventor! Each day you’ll be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from world famous inventors and the most important thing of all – your mind. With a little bit of ingenuity you’ll construct catapults and forts and then lay siege, fabricate a winning Egg Drop design, construct a dancing robot and assemble a working light saber to take home. While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, this camp is 100% fun! |

Super-Duper Science Sampler |
|
Explore five of the coolest sciences in one week!
Unlike our other camps where a theme runs through the entire camp, the Science Sampler is something new every day!
Explore five of the coolest branches of science on your way to becoming a certified Jr. Mad Scientist. Discover how birds fly, how bugs walk on water and learn what an owl eats as we dissect owl pellets in Biology; build towering structures and ingenious contraptions via Engineering; experiment with Newton’s Laws of Motion and perform the Great Tablecloth Tug during Physics; stir-up crazy concoctions that become candy, ice cream and sidewalk chalk in Chemistry; then pan for gems, create thunder and lightning and make your own volcano in Earth Science. It’s a camp so great it’s Super-Duper! |
