During STEAM Discovery Camp, campers investigate scientific and engineering concepts and complete hands-on challenges. Each camp day will focus on a different topic in science and include subjects in life science, physical science, technology, and engineering. Finally, there will be a Science Expo at the end of the week where campers can show off their projects and favorite demonstrations for their families.
For campers ages 7 to 9. Summer Camp runs from August 4-8, 2025
Before there were makerspaces, early makers were plying their trades. Learning the Trades Camp offers campers a chance to explore many of the different skills and jobs of the 19th century.

A fun “jobs fair” at the end of the week will mark the end of the campers’ apprenticeships as they share their new skills with their families.
For Campers ages 10 to 12. Summer camp runs from August 5th to the 9th.
