STEM-ULATING SCIENCE!

CAB

Ages 4-6 Find out just how much fun Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) can be with our unique and exciting hands-on activities! Put your engineering and technology skills to use and build structures, explore space and discover magnetic levitation! Basic math concepts such as units of measure, shapes, problem solving, addition and subtraction are used during our crazy experiments!

Continue the fun and learning at home with experiments you’ve made at camp! (Participants MUST be potty trained).

WACKY ROBOTS & WIDGETS

YOUNG INVENTORS’ CAMP

Age 7-12 Whether you love to build things or destroy them, this week of camp includes lots of both! Junior Mad Science engineers design and build structures using simple tools and their imaginations. Then the machine madness starts… discover how different machines, both simple and complex, are used in our daily lives! Design simple machines using pulleys, wedges, screws and levers and have fun learning how catapults work! Use the skills you’ve learned to build a Mad Science robot to keep, all while learning the science of robotics!

Age 7-12 Creative Contraption Warning! This Mad Science camp is 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 imagination! Assemble your own working light saber to take home! While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration; this camp is 100% fun!

At 12:30pm all the campers in this program will meet up and be asked where they would like to go for the day. They will have a choice between the swimming at our pool (certified lifeguards on duty) or be able to continue to work on their golf skills. If they choose to swim, a counselor will bring them to the pool to play until 3:00pm. If they choose to golf, an instructor will take them back onto the course to play a round. This is a great way to put what they have learned that day to the test and at the same time fix certain areas that still need some work. Swimmers and golfers will meet up at 3:15pm for a 20-minute snack time. After snacks, it will be free time where they can relax on the deck or golf in the practice area.
