Especially for the Younger Ones
Summer STEM Camps
(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
Focus on helping children to develop new skills through experimental designs and applications. Various classes are offered for two age groups (grades K-2 and grades 3-5) with small group sizes of only 5-15 children, so registration is required. Certified teachers and volunteers lead each session, and past topics have included robotic Legos, cooking, sewing, music, art, drama, and science.
Each camp is Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 12:30.
Students should bring a snack and water bottle each day.
STEM Camps coordinator is Jacquetta Owen.
