2025–2026 Topic Descriptions

Wildlife Wonders

October 1–October 29, 2025

Get ready to explore the amazing world of animals! Students will learn about different taxonomic groups through real biofacts, discover what animals need in zoos, and investigate how zookeepers care for them. We'll also go on nature walks to spot wild animals and explore local ecology firsthand.

STEAM Studio

November 5–December 10, 2025 (no class November 26, 2025)

In this creative blend of science and art, students will use chemical reactions, motion, and forces to make unique and colorful masterpieces. They'll discover how physics, chemistry, and biology can influence the way we create, while also enjoying classic art activities like drawing and painting. It’s a space where science inspires art—and art inspires curiosity!

Tinker Lab

January 7–February 4, 2026

This hands-on lab is all about building, testing, and experimenting! Each day focuses on a different branch of physical science—chemistry, physics, and engineering—through fun challenges and messy experiments. Students will explore how the world works by tinkering, problem-solving, and making their own discoveries.

Earth Explorers

February 11–March 11, 2026

From rocks and fossils to weather patterns and space, this theme digs into Earth and beyond! Campers will learn about geology, climate, and paleontology, and how natural forces shape the world around us. We'll also explore how we can take care of our planet through sustainability and conservation activities.

Ocean Odyssey

April 15–May 13, 2026

Splash into science with a deep dive into oceans, rivers, and wetlands! Students will explore the animals that live in or near water, the chemistry and physics of water itself, and how water connects to weather and ecosystems. We'll bring our learning to life with beach and marsh walks to discover aquatic life in action.
