About this camp

Destination Science offers engaging, hands-on STEM summer camps for children ages 5-11, designed to foster curiosity, confidence, and teamwork. Campers participate in three daily Science Stations, such as 'Discover & Build,' 'Explore & Create,' and 'Engineer & Innovate,' where they conduct experiments and work on cumulative projects. Activities include designing and building robots, creating movie sets for stop-motion animation, and exploring space science through rockets and robotics. Beyond scientific exploration, children develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills by working in small groups and independently. The program also incorporates two daily Outdoor Action Stations for physical activity and friendship building, culminating in a Camp Rally to celebrate achievements. Campers take home their projects, reinforcing learning and encouraging them to share their scientific discoveries with family.
