This camp is for budding young magicians ready to discover the science behind their favorite magic tricks! In this enchanting camp, kids will explore the wonders of friction, surface tension, density, and so much more! To add a touch of flair to their magical repertoire, campers will design and build their own bouncy rabbit toy that can leap out of a magician's hat. It's a spellbinding mix of science and fun that will leave your child amazed and eager to perform!
Step behind the magicians curtain and discover the science behind mind-bending magic! In this exciting camp, campers will experiment with topography to master and perform simple rope tricks, while also diving into the world of optics and cognitive bias. They’ll then learn how to manipulate our senses and create stunning illusions, culminating in the creation of their own Ames window optical illusion to take home!
Dive into the world of buoyancy and density through hands-on experiments that make science fun! Campers will design a boat that floats on water, then discover the magic of SF6 as they create a tinfoil boat that appears to float in mid-air. They'll also explore the fascinating properties of liquids by creating mini density columns that always settle into distinct layers, no matter how much they're shaken. It's a day of scientific discovery that will captivate and inspire!
From peppers ghost to perspective driven drawings, math, optics and science have been utilized to fool and blow the minds of audiences across the world. In Chemistry Conjurors, campers will make drawings that suspend and float, projects that appear in midair, and cycling chemical reactions that “magically” change color as the reaction takes place. Campers will also practice measuring with rulers and drawing with precision in order to created 2D drawings that become 3D when viewed at the right angle.
In this captivating camp, your child will discover the fascinating science and engineering behind optical illusions and trick photography! We will begin by mastering the art of creating optical illusions through precise measurements and Zentangles. In the afternoon, our campers will experiment with camera angles, exposure, and aperture to produce dazzling trick photography. It’s a day filled with creativity, precision, and mind-bending fun that will inspire and amaze!
Launch feet first into the wonders of weather! In this playful camp, your little one will explore the magic of rain, wind, and rainbows through hands-on activities. They'll experiment with clouds and precipitation in our exciting rain lab, and even get to build their own anemometers to take home. It’s a day full of discovery and fun that will spark their curiosity about the world around them!
Unleash your child’s inner meteorologist in Storm Chasers, where they’ll adventure into the thrilling world of storms and tornadoes! In this action-packed camp, kids will create their very own tornado in a jar, learn how to identify and analyze different types of clouds, and build a barometer to track weather changes at home. It’s an electrifying adventure into the science of storms that will leave them eager for the next forecast!
Why is the sky blue during the day, but a variety of colors at sunset? Why do rainbows only appear in the sky during certain weather events but not others? In this camp we are going to experiment with the physics of light and build our own spectrometers that will allow us to see rainbows wherever we go. We’ll also dig into the science of temperature and build our very own thermometers that we can take home.
Get ready for a wild weather adventure! Campers will start by exploring the wonders of precipitation and experimenting in our hands-on rain lab to discover how raindrops form and fall. Then, they'll crank up the excitement by exploring the science behind extreme weather, like tornadoes, and even create their own tornado in a jar to take home. It’s a thrilling day of discovery that connects the calm before the storm with the power of nature’s most intense phenomena!
Discover the wonders of Tech and Temperature in this thrilling camp adventure where science and technology collide! Kids will explore light refraction in our blue-sky emulator, uncovering how atmospheric conditions create that beautiful blue sky. They’ll then build their own spectrometer to split light into a stunning array of colors, bringing a full rainbow to any setting. To cap it all off, they'll create a barometer to learn how pressure changes affect weather events. It’s a fantastic blend of tech, temperature, and hands-on experiments that will spark excitement and curiosity!
The three states of matter have never tasted so delicious during this day of edible experimentation. Campers will learn about how temperature plays a part in making some of their favourite treats in our Slushie Making Science program. In the afternoon they explore the wonders of polymer chains as they create their own edible playdough to sculpt and even eat.
Ignite your child’s culinary curiosity and confidence in a day at camp where delicious science meets sunny innovations! We’ll start by unraveling the magic behind making boba for bubble tea, discovering the chemistry that turns simple ingredients into chewy polymer pearls of delight.
