Get your hands sticky as we explore the exciting world of polymers and molecules. Whether it’s learning about surface tension with giant bubbles, mixing household materials to make gooey creations, or stirring up silly solvents, this week is sure to impress. It’ll be a bonding experience!
Deconstruction Junction
Using colorful elements young campers will build fun and simple models such as spinning tops, rolling vehicles, seesaws, and rafts as an introduction to robotics through simple machines. If your camper enjoys pulling things apart and putting them back together, this is the perfect camp to engage and foster their dabbling desires.
Kid Explorer Camp Aviation Academy
Buckle in, we’re taking to the skies this week. Campers will create funky gliders, design their own parachutes, and reach unfathomable heights powered by hot air balloons and rockets. Along the way we’ll engage with core concepts like lift, thrust, drag, and gravity as we soar up, up, and away.
Kid Explorer Camp Case Crackers
Even Sherlock Holmes would be impressed with the detective work our junior sleuths are putting in at Kid Explorer Camp . We’re solving crimes, breaking cases, and catching crooks all week long as we investigate the science of forensics — including fingerprints, sketch artists, and fiber tracing. It’s certainly not the usual suspects at camp this week.
Masters of “Ew”!
Eww. Yuck. COOL! Does your camper enjoy getting a little messy? Gooey creatures, waste disposal, and body odor are just a few of the disgustingly awesome topics we’ll be checking out this week. The best part? It smells just like it sounds — wonderful!
Mad About Meteorology
Is your camper curious about how clouds form, why each snow flake is unique, and what happens inside a tornado? This session is perfect for the budding meteorologist! We’ll be singing in the rain as we investigate the wacky and wonderful world of weather.
STEM II & III
CODING: LEGO Design
In this camp from one of the leaders in the industry for STEM, LEGO. Kids learn real programming as they design and code their own from start to finish. Kids will learn the basics of one of the most popular coding languages in the world as they modify real code to build their own blocks, items and more. During camp, kids will master introductory programming concepts including object-oriented programming, methods and parameters, instantiation of new objects, and more.
CODING: App Design
In this camp from ROKENBOK, kids learn basic mobile app development skills as they design and program their own robot. Kids will learn basic programming concepts, including if-then statements, variables, and complex logic as they create their mobile game from scratch. During camp, kids will complete the process of designing a mobile game from start to finish, including choosing characters, level design, and programming the app’s functionality.
ROKENBOK and LEGO* — STEM Challenge I
Power on your engineering skills with Kid Explorer Camp and tens of thousands of ROKENBOK or LEGO*®!

Design and build as never before, and explore your craziest ideas in a supportive environment. An experienced instructor will challenge campers to engineer at the next level. There is no prerequisite for this course.
ROKENBOK and LEGO* — STEM Challenge II
Level up your engineering skills with Kid Explorer Camp and tens of thousands of ROKENBOK or LEGO*®! Apply real- world concepts in physics, engineering, and architecture through engineer-designed projects such as Belt-Drive Cars, Truss Bridges, Rail Racers, and Pneumatic Forklifts! Design and build as never before, and explore your craziest ideas in a supportive environment. There is no prerequisite for this course.
ROKENBOK and LEGO* — Jedi Engineering
The Force Awakens in this advanced engineering course for young Jedi! Discover key engineering concepts such as gear trains, worm drives, pneumatics, and eccentric motion. Build LEGO* X-Wings, AT-AT walkers, Pod Racers, Star Destroyers, Cloud Cities, Settlements, Fortresses, and other complex machines and structures from a galaxy far, far away.
F(9) U(92) N(7) LAB
“Get these people out of here, they’re contaminating the crime scene!” Campers assume the role of forensic scientists at camp this week as they unravel the clues to the crime. Practicing fingerprint evaluation, fiber matching, and handwriting analysis, campers will use authentic forensic skills to crack the case. It’s not elementary, Watson, it’s camp!
Forensic Fanatics!
Ready for some radical reactions? The Kid Explorer Camp Labs are back up and running. Grab your lab coat and safety goggles because we’re mixing all sorts of weird substances this week at Kid Explorer Camp. We’ll try not to blow anything up — well, we’ll try not to blow anything up too much.
MAKER CAMP-High Tech Tinkering
Featuring real parts, real science, and real engineering, our Advanced Robotics camp is second to none. After learning how to make safe electrical connections and get their wheels spinning, campers will hone their problem-solving skills as they tackle open-ended challenges employing scientific and engineering concepts learned throughout the week. At the end of each session, campers will bring home their own fully functioning Electric Motors Catalyst from Tinkering Labs.
Ready, Set, Whoa!
We’re going fast this week, real fast. Flying, sailing, and blasting off — the only things holding us back are the laws of physics. We’ll see how far we can bend those as campers push the limits on roller coasters, rockets, and wave runners. Campers will utilize math, engineering, and scientific concepts in their pursuit of all things speed.
