Mad Science camps offer a daily combination of in-class discovery and exploration, outdoor games and physical activities, and hands-on applications of the scientific principles presented.

Kids experience science through hands-on touch, see, hear, smell and taste experiments using simple, real world science techniques that allow even the youngest of campers to learn.

Campers create, build and assemble a variety of take-home projects while exploring how science affects the world around us.
