Each camp session runs from 8:45am to 12:30pm (EST). They all include a unique special treat. Examples include: outdoor field exploration, lab activities, design and construction activities, and even guest speakers! Based on the theme, campers will receive materials for an engineering model, or materials for conducting a lab experiment.
Each camper must select their theme of choice prior to enrolling. All of the campers work in pods to collaboratively prepare a brilliant group presentation, which they will share with their fellow camp buddies at the conclusion of each session! All campers work collaboratively; Their efforts will result in everyone leaving with a hands-on build, a slideshow and/or portfolio of their work.
