Be a science explorer on a journey through the amazing world of birds and beasts. The adventure continues through the chemistry lab and into other fascinating areas of science and fun. Build a crazy kaleidoscope and learn about cameras, lenses, and film. Build arches, bridges, a geodesic dome, and a catapult. 

Every day has a different theme:
Jr. Engineers
Check out shapes and why they are so strong! Investigate arches, and geodesic domes. Discover why an egg’s shape is so strong and how you can find this shape in buildings. Test loads and build some bridges when you put on an engineer’s hat and learn about structures.  Take home a triangle puzzle and a wooden cube puzzle you built yourself.

Crazy Chemistry I
Become a Mad Science chemist as you learn all about the chemistry things that you encounter everyday in your house and school. Experiment with chemical reactions and test different liquids. Make your own chromatography T-Shirt to take home. Enjoy the exothermic ice cream we make in class.
 
Crazy Chemistry II
Discover how chemical reactions are everywhere and experiment with some chemical and some physical reactions.  Mix, mush and brew together different chemicals to create things that you can use.  Make sidewalk chalk, tootsie rolls, bath fizzers and some crystals.  
 
The Birds & The Beasts
Where do owls live and what do they eat? What are the different ways birds eat their food? These questions and more will be answered with a walk on the wild side. Make a bird house and take home a bird seed mix for the birds in your own backyard. 

Shutterbugs! (Not in four day camp)
How does a camera work? What does a lens do? How do our eyes work? What is a camera obscura? How does film capture light and store an image? How did the idea of motion pictures start and how did early filmmakers figure out how to make images move? All these questions and more will be answered in this hands-on program wherein campers get to experience early aspects of photography.  Make a Krazy Kaleidoscope, Thaumatrope and Cameral Obscura to take home.
