You won’t need a scuba suit to meet the wild, wonderful animals and plants that call our oceans home: from slippery jellies to colorful shells, fearsome sharks to glowing corals! Haul up shipwreck treasure, and be sailor, water farmer, or even a pirate for a day. No walking the plank in this camp, just lots of wet, watery fun.
​
Week 7 August 4-9
Level 1: Messy Art and Science
Get messy while creating, exploring and experimenting! Make amazing art from science: Let the colors spin, the liquids splash, and the crystals grow! Let chemistry, physics, and creativity collide while you work and think like budding scientists and express yourself with easy, imaginative art activities.
​
Week 9 August 19-23
Level 1: Around the World in 5 Days with a Passport to Adventure
Grab your “passports” and explore the far reaching corners of our earth. Experience the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and games from different cultures.

Discover the secrets of vegetable chemistry to make colors. Plant a special garden for future snacking and find out how physics makes corn explode into popcorn. Explore the science behind everyone’s favorite wobbly desert and what chemical reaction turns milk into cheese and algae into gummy candies. Join us for a camp chock-full of delicious and amazing science…Yum!
Week 8 August 12-16
Level 2: Science Squad
