STEM Summer Camps
Summer STEM Camps at Science Explorers combine fun and education for the ultimate hands-on summer camp experience. We offer various camps for age groups 4 to 6 and 7 to 11, diving into science in many forms — from forensics to marine biology. We aim to help more kids get excited about science and learning, even out of school.
Our Science-Based Summer Camps
Science Explorers’ week-long STEM camps come in half-day and full-day options, depending on the age group. Each camp offers unique activities and learning experiences within a different science topic. Check them out below!
Astronaut Academy
3…2…1 BLAST OFF to discovering space and flight! Half day campers will explore the stars and constellations as you take an out-of-this-world sky tour in our homemade planetarium, prepare for lift-off as you build and launch your own rocket while learning about Newton’s Laws of Motion, complete a mission to Mars as you design and build your own model space station and work in engineering teams to construct space capsules that will be used to launch “eggstronauts”! Full day campers will continue to use their astronaut wits as we build air powered nano-rovers, make craters and dry ice comets, and work with a robotic arm as we learn how astronauts use robots to work on satellites. Come join us on our mission through outer space! For ages 7-11.
Fizz, Bang, Boom!
What do you get when you take the physics of motion, add in some electrifying experiments, and mix it up with some chemistry? Everyone has a blast! In our half day camp you’ll create your own battery-powered invention, experiment with light and flight, make your own kaleidoscope and experiment with giant floating bubbles. Stay for the full day and build your own motorized robot, use chromatography to separate the colors in candy, mix up some crazy chemical reactions, create an electric game, investigate the effects of air pressure, and compete in a tall tower engineering competition! For ages 7-11.
Summer Science Mash-Up!
Join us as we transform our 2025-26 after-school club topics into an unforgettable week-long camp adventure! Each day brings a brand-new theme packed with hands-on experiments, wild discoveries, and mind-blowing fun. Learn science tricks that look like magic to amaze your friends. Join the Slime Squad for a day of stretchy, squishy, glowing creations. Get messy in the Grossology Lab as you uncover the gross but fascinating secrets of the human body. Tap into your creative side as you build a spin-art machine and mix up fizzing paint to make amazing art. Wrap up the week at Secret Agent Academy, where you’ll craft spy gadgets, decode hidden messages, and reveal invisible ink like a real undercover scientist.
Take a Dive
We designed our Take a Dive camp for future marine biologists and oceanographers aged 7 to 11! In the half-day camp, your child will get to dissect a real shark, learn to survive at sea and participate in a fisherman’s challenge. Our full-day camp option includes completing a squid dissection, investigating Triassic Triops and discovering many other weird wonders of the sea.
Jr. Investigative Team
Hey there, future Science Explorers, do we have the camp for you!” Join our team of curious tiny-techs as we explore a new theme each day. Experiment with the power of magnets, investigate the life cycle of beautiful butterflies, discover how birds adapt to their environments, explore the unique properties of water, and make colorful sidewalk chalk! You are never too young to be a scientist! Half day only for ages 4-6.
Philosophy of Science Explorers
Since 1999, the mission at Science Explorers has been to make science fun and engaging, creating programs developed by educators and approved by kids. We host after-school clubs, school assemblies and summer camps to share the wonder of science.
