Our Half-Day Camp Themes
Eureka!
Be inspired by the most famous inventors in history - Ben Franklin, the Wright Brothers, Leonardo Da Vinci, Rube Goldberg! - and create your OWN inventions! Use their techniques to break through a series of modern day challenges. You will learn how to invent solutions to problems and make them come to life, just like these legendary innovators did. Construct catapults, forts and more!
Underground Explorers
Calling all Jr. Archaeologists! Uncover the mysteries of ancient civilizations and the history of Paleontology. Learn about the techniques, tools and artifacts that teach us about the history of humans on earth. Study bone fragments, pottery shards, amber deposits and fossils. Can you puzzle out the culture of a long lost city using only a handful of clues?
NASA Journey into Outer Space
Mad Science and NASA have teamed up to bring you the excitement and wonder of space in this new voyage of discovery. See the principles of thrust and propulsion at work in a real rocket launch. Explore the atmosphere on earth and beyond. Watch star dust burn, and journey through a galaxy as you investigate the life cycle of stars. Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system!
Detective Madness
Like to solve mysteries? Crack the case? You will step into the shoes of a real detective. Use science to uncover evidence and analyze the hidden secrets of a case. Put cool sleuthing tools and proven forensic techniques to work and unravel mysteries that would stump even Sherlock Holmes! Ok, well maybe they would fool your brother. But they’d be CRAZY to think they can fool Detective You!
Castaway
An ecological adventure - Campers will find themselves stranded on island...now what?! Work together using the supplies you have to learn to survive until you are rescued. Create shelters, use water filtration systems, and study the island’s animals. Learn how to harness the sun’s energy to create solar cookers, communicate with technology, and work as a team!
Crazy Chemworks
Get ready to lose your mind in the vast and exciting world of chemistry! This camp is full of reactions, observations, solutions, suspensions, explosions, concoctions, perplexions, digestions, reflections, and Dalmatians (kidding), just to name a few! You will challenge your friends in the labware game, combat evaporation, be amazed at the awesome power of glue technology!
Flight Academy
It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's...everything from the earliest flying machines to the first rocket flights. This hands-on program will let you learn all about aerodynamics and the world above us.
