Summer Science Mini-Camps

Kids ages 4 to 7 will get a chance to learn what our summer camps are all about in this bite-sized program; perfect for kiddos to try out the camp experience! These half day (3 hour) camps will be offered the week before our normal camp schedule begins and the week after our normal camp schedule ends. Pick a day or two or register for them all!

More information

Because they are short and sweet and you can register for single or multiple days, these mini-camps are perfect for kids who are too young for our regular camps or who have never attended full day, weeklong camps before.

Your new campers will get to experience what Summer Science Camp is all about in short sessions where they will be engaged and entertained with hands-on activities, games, art projects, new friends, and more all while learning the ropes of camp!

Weather permitting, campers will spend the majority of their time outdoors.

Ages: 4 to 7

Times: Camps run from 9 am to 12 noon. We can not offer pre or post camp care at this time.
