Not your ordinary art camp! Our theme-based activities include digital drawing, painting and animations using graphic tablets. At the end of the week, campers will even create their own comic strips! Age 5+.
Lego Stop-Motion & Animation:
Want to see your child’s stories come to life? Campers will create their very own movies using LEGO® through the process of stop motion capture; and learn basic animation concepts. Age 5+.
Robotic with Lego Mindstorms:
Our most popular camp! Learn to design, build and program robots! Campers work both individually and in small teams using the LEGO® Mindstorms Robotic Kit; and participate in the various challenges throughout the week. Age 5+./span>
Tech Xploration:
Designed to excite and inspire young minds as they explore different technologies throughout the week - Robotics, Stop-Motion, computer animation and video game creations! Age 5+.
Pre-Engineering:
Create, play and learn. Design a town, city or star base with houses, buildings, pyramids, bridges, tunnels, towers and more. Explore the many possibilities of LEGO® building systems while learning valuable construction techniques. Age 5-7.
Engineering FUNdamentals:
Design and build motorized machines, catapults, pyramids, demolition derby cars, truss and suspension bridges, buildings, and other constructions. Explore concepts in physics, engineering, and architecture while playing with your favorite creations. With over 100,000 pieces of LEGO®, students take on real-life engineering challenges while building and having fun! Age 8-11.
SECRET AGENT LAB
Look out 007—the Mad Science Spy Academy is in session! Using powers of observations and the Inspectikit, our young forensic scientists will have all they need to get started on their detective adventure. Become a super spy and learn clever ways of performing tasks in this hands-on view at the science that spies use. From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, campers will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and step into the shoes of a spy in action!
CSI: Forensics
Campers learn about their cells, DNA, and do chemical magic. They will use techniques from forensic science to have electro chemical color fun, create radical chemical reactions, and explore the cells and organs that make up the human body. On the last day, “It’s elementary Watson” for children to become super sleuths to solve a “crime”! They will collect and analyze evidence from crime scenes until we solve the crime and bring the camp to a sweet conclusion!
NASA: Journey into Outer Space
Take a voyage of discovery into the atmosphere and beyond. Explore planets, moons and other space phenomena in our solar system. Examine the sun and other stars. Discover the difficulties of space travel, the challenges of living in space and try assembling a satellite while training to be an astronaut. Learn about the various technologies that make space exploration possible while bouncing lasers around the room, then take home an LED UFO to experiment further. Build your own Mad Science rocket and launch several with the group. Campers will have lots of projects to make and to take home including a Kepler’s Cube solar system puzzle, a Cosmic Chronometer, a Shuttle Copter, and a Catch-a-Comet.
American Doll Fashion & Fun
If your daughter loves her doll, then imagine how proud of herself she'll be after she sews a dress for her by hand! We explore the stories of popular historic American dolls with period themed crafts. Don't forget to bring your 18" dolls to share in the fun throughout the week. On the last day, families are welcome to come in and enjoy a tea party!
BounceU Broadway
