Winter Break Camps 2025

A Hands-On, Interactive Learning Experience

Looking for a quality experience for your child during their school break? Mission to Mars, Illumineers, and Radical Reactions, our Winter Break Camps for campers ages 6 to 10, feature our seasonal light exhibit IlluminOdyssey, engaging science content, and explorations around Coyote Point. We guide and inspire campers to think creatively, be curious, and draw on lessons learned through their own science exploration!  

Spaces are limited and pre-registration is required.

Registration opens Friday, October 24 at 1 PM.

Camp Themes

Mission to Mars

Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure! In this camp, design and launch rockets, create landing devices for a safe touchdown, and explore what life on Mars might look like. Through hands-on activities, we’ll use our imaginations and engineering skills to discover what it takes to travel to the red planet and hypothesize what creatures or environments might exist there!

Illumineers

With IlluminOdyssey as inspiration, imagine how you would design your own brilliantly engineered art show. Learn about the engineering design process as we make creations that glow, shine and reflect. Build art making machines that shake and shimmy. Use the forces of physics to spin your own paintings and doodles.

Radical Reactions

Learn about captivating chemical reactions through hands-on experiments and dazzling demonstrations. Explore radical reactions with common chemicals we can find at home. Manipulate matter as it changes from solid, to liquid to gas. Create cool, chemical artworks, make a mess, and more in this totally tubular session!
