Mad Science camps offer a unique combination of science discovery, outdoor games, and physical activity with new topics and take-home kits every day.
Mad Science STEM Camps offer children ages 3-12 engaging, hands-on science experiences through a variety of themed programs. Campers explore scientific principles through exciting demonstrations and interactive experiments, fostering curiosity and inspiring a love for STEM. Activities include building structures, exploring space, discovering magnetic levitation, and conducting chemical reactions. Children gain critical thinking and problem-solving skills by investigating their world, analyzing evidence, and working on daily take-home projects. The camps aim to make science accessible and fun, encouraging resourcefulness, logical thinking, and an understanding of how science affects the world around them.
A typical day involves a welcome huddle, two experiment blocks with active play breaks, a health/nutrition and lunch break, followed by two more experiment blocks and a goodbye huddle.
The ideal student is a curious child aged 3-12 who enjoys hands-on activities and wants to explore various scientific concepts in a fun and interactive environment.
