Get ready for a wild ride through Earth’s most extreme adventures! In Nature Unleashed, campers will shake things up with earthquake simulations, create mini volcano eruptions, and explore the swirling power of hurricanes, tornadoes, and tsunamis. From roaring wildfires to icy blizzards, kids will uncover the awesome science behind nature’s biggest events. It’s one action-packed week of hands-on fun, messy experiments, and unstoppable excitement!
Theme Park Engineers
July 20 – 24 | Grades 1-6
Get ready to design, build, and thrill! During this project based camp, junior innovators will dive into the science, physics, and engineering behind the world’s most exciting amusement parks. From roller coaster dynamics and ride safety to structural design and theme integration, young engineers will explore the STEM principles that power theme park magic.
Throughout the week, campers will put their knowledge to the test by designing and building their very own model amusement park—complete with custom rides and attractions!
It’s hands-on, high-energy fun that combines creativity, problem-solving, and real-world engineering.
