Check out our 2026 weekly themes below
June 29 - July 2
Magical Inventions
Science feels like magic this week as campers uncover the secrets behind illusions, motion, and seemingly “impossible” tricks. Through hands-on experiments and interactive demonstrations, students explore the real science that magicians use to amaze their audiences. We'll explore where magic meets science from forces and light to perception and problem-solving. By the end of the week, campers won’t just watch the magic… they’ll understand how it works!

July 6 - July 9
Mysteries of the Human Body
From heartbeat to brainpower, campers explore the amazing systems that keep our bodies moving and growing. Through interactive models, experiments, and games, students investigate how muscles, organs, and senses work together. It’s biology brought to life in a fun, kid-friendly way that builds curiosity about health and science.
July 13 - July 16
Wild, Wild Weather:
Storm Seekers
Get ready to chase the science behind clouds, wind, and wild weather! Campers become junior meteorologists as they create weather tools, conduct storm simulations, and explore the forces that shape our planet. Expect big energy, exciting experiments, and plenty of “wow!” moments.
July 20 - July 23
Think like a MAD SCIENTIST
Put on your lab goggles! It’s time to experiment! This week is packed with messy, exciting, curiosity-driven investigations that encourage students to ask questions, test ideas, and learn through discovery. From bubbling reactions to surprising results, campers experience the joy of real scientific exploration.
July 27 - July 30
Inventors Workshop
Innovation takes center stage as campers brainstorm, design, build, and improve their own creations using the engineering design process. Working collaboratively, students tackle challenges that strengthen creativity, critical thinking, and perseverance. It’s the perfect finale for young problem-solvers ready to change the world.
