Terrific Scientific STEM Summer Camps offer over 40 hands-on camp themes for rising K–7th graders, focusing on science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). Campers engage in inquiry-based learning, carrying out experiments, building and programming robots, and exploring new technologies. Activities include robotics, coding, Minecraft, chemistry, animal science, engineering projects, and video game design. The curriculum is designed to foster curiosity, problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity, helping students develop lifelong skills. Specific camp examples include building city vehicles and systems with LEGO® WeDo2™ and Scratch programming, learning JavaScript for creating videos and games, and using forensics skills to solve crime cases. The program emphasizes a balanced mix of hands-on learning and outdoor activities.
A typical day begins with courtyard events and a science demo from 8:30-8:55 am, followed by specific camp activities. Mid-day includes a 60-minute lunch and outdoor play, with more camp activities in the afternoon until pickup at 3:30-3:45 pm.
The ideal student is a rising K-7th grader who is curious, enjoys hands-on activities, and is eager to explore various STEM and STEAM topics.
