About this camp

Ignite your child’s curiosity with an unforgettable summer experience! As children spark their imagination and discover new possibilities, they build confidence in their big ideas and experiment with hands-on STEM.

Campers gear up to invent as they explore the inner workings of gadgets and excavate a useful gearbox. From taking apart a wind-up robot to repurposing its parts for fresh creations, children design their very own Etch-n-Glow Wand™ — a dazzling gadget that lights up and spins!
