The themes for summer day camps are:

At a Glance - (May 31st - June 2nd)  Seeing things grow larger or smaller by looking through a lens is an amazing thing to young children. In this unit, they will explore and compare how natural things change when seen through magnifying glasses, microscopes, mirrors, and binoculars.

I'm Sensing Something - (June 7-9th) Everything we know comes to us through our senses. This unit contains materials that allow the children to learn about taste, touch, sight, sound, and smell. They will also learn about differing abilities and how people overcome the loss of one of their senses. Not only will they experience new and exciting things they will learn how their different senses help them understand the world around them.

I'm Stuck on You - (June 14-16thMagnets are magical to children. In this unit, they will explore magnetic forces by using a variety of magnets on metal and non-metal objects. They will learn how magnets work, what they work on, and some uses for magnets in the real world.

It's going to blow! - (June 21-23rd) You can't have a summer of science with building your very own volcano, In these experiments your children will observe the chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar in different situations and predict it's outcome.

What's the matter? - (June 28-30th) During this class children will discover the difference between a solid, liquid and gas as well as experiment with mixtures and compounds. Children will also investigate the properties of a mystery substance called Goo and will use their scientific process skills to investigate the substance and determine if it is solid, liquid, or gas.

Kids' Kitchen - (July 5-7th) During Kids’ Kitchen, children will learn about the food pyramid and how to make healthy food choices. They will sample different types of foods, as they prepare recipes for healthy snacks. 

Animal Antics - (July 12-14th)  Children will learn all about animals and their homes. Not only will they learn about animals in their own neighborhoods, but they will explore animals that live in areas faraway. Animal Antics gives children opportunities to explore the habitats of animals, what animals eat, what sounds they make and how they move.
