Camps

Clever Campers Start with Curious Minds!

Science camps spark lifelong friendships and inspire a passion for discovery. In informal, engaging settings, curiosity and inquisitiveness come naturally—and at SCI Camps, the magic of science takes center stage!

With hands-on activities, campers explore, experiment, and uncover the “hows” and “whys” of the world around them. Through teamwork, investigation, and creativity, SCI Campers grow into bold thinkers and problem solvers.

Summer 2025 Camps are available now!
