Does your child like to make things? Loves science or maybe isn't sure? Then choose from fifteen different project-based, week-long STEM programs. These are fun, active, on your feet, get outside and dive in experiences that go way beyond the classroom. We guarantee that they will engage your child. Thirty-six sessions across eight weeks and two campus locations make it easier to plan your summer!
Whether building a bridge or testing a rocket design on the simulator, children create, build and test to own the science.
We also have a limited number of Counselors in Training (CIT) positions for rising 10th to 12th grade students. Our CITs are full participants in the program they choose, while getting a handle on what it takes to work as a Junior Counselor. This is a great addition to your teenager's high school transcript.
