Science Programs for Kids Near You in Cumberland County, NJ
Science Explorers brings hands-on STEM education to Cumberland County families in Vineland, Millville, Bridgeton and beyond. Our interactive camps and clubs turn curious kids ages 4 to 11 into excited young scientists through experiments they can touch, build and explore.
Why Science Programs Matter for Your Child’s Future
STEM skills provide children with advantages that last a lifetime. After-school science programs help young learners develop problem-solving abilities while exploring chemistry, biology, engineering and more. Research shows children who participate in hands-on science activities perform better in school, develop stronger critical thinking skills and maintain curiosity about how the world works.
Science Explorers has spent over two decades making STEM education fun for elementary-aged children. When kids enjoy learning, they remember what they discover and want to learn even more.
