About this camp

Curious about how the world around you works? Like to explore and investigate? Have a vivid imagination? This signature series of hands-on STEM summer camps is specially designed for inquisitive young minds.

Do you wonder what’s happening beneath your feet? Leave the textbooks behind and get your hands dirty with our Earth Science Junior camp. This is your chance to step into the boots of a real scientist and crack the code on how our planet works. You won’t just be sitting in a room; you will be out in the field hunting for fossil evidence, predicting storms like a meteorologist, and analyzing the secrets hidden inside rocks and minerals.

Get ready to map the wild, track animal adaptations, and explore the environment through high-energy experiments. Whether you are cracking open geodes or studying ecosystems, you’ll build the skills needed for a future in science while discovering exactly why the Earth literally rocks.
