Summer & Vacation Programs 

Discover the draw of Mad Science in the summer at your local camp, community center, or YMCA!  Mad Science engages children in scientific explorations that are so much fun children will forget they’re learning!  Campers can team up with fellow “engineers” to build a bridge, participate in an unforgettable dinosaur dig, build and launch a model rocket, or explore the science behind their favorite sports.  The selection of activities will make your head spin!

Camp Themes for 2009:

Crazy Chemworks

Shake up a flask of fun in the lab as a junior chemist!  These five half-days of chemistry are packed solid with cool reactions.  Campers put on some goggles and change liquid to solid and back again.  They get to handle laboratory tools, build and break molecules, and pick up some tricks on chemical changes.
 

NASA: Journey Into Outer Space

From our Earth's atmosphere to the outer reaches of the solar system, this hands-on program sends campers on a quest for exploration!  Comets planets, stars and more all waiting to be discovered.  Learn about the four forces of flight, the challenges of space travel, and participate in a rocket launch!
 

Secret Agent Lab

Step into the shoes of a detective -- uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis.  Become a super sleuth and learn clever ways of performing tasks in the hands-on view of the science that spies use.  From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, campers will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and discover the technological tools of detection.
