Science is a central theme in every child’s life, even if they don’t realize it. From the lightsaber yielded by their favorite Jedi, the wand that creates magical mishaps in their favorite book, even the way the cheese gets all gooey in their school lunch — science makes all these things possible. Science is fun!
Do you want to help your child learn even more? After-school science clubs and summer science camps located throughout Lackawanna County, including in Clarks Green, PA, will give them a whole world of knowledge. Learn more about our science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities for kids.
Why STEM Learning Is Important for Kids
Most of the jobs of the future will focus on some aspect of science. Technology has become a huge part of our everyday lives, and it will be prevalent no matter what field your child plans to enter.
Our activities help children learn about STEM in a fun way. We encourage their curiosity by investigating real-life occurrences. We’ll ask questions about things that interest your children, such as:
- Weather
- Animals
- Nature
- Coding
Kids will learn at a pace and level they are comfortable with. Mostly, they will have a good time and make new friends. While learning is important, we work with children and want them to enjoy what we do together. The learning happens naturally as they become curious about our experiments and activities throughout our camps and clubs.
Summer Science Camps Available for Children Ages 4-11
We offer summer STEM camps for kids 4-11 designed to help them examine and test new ideas in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. We hold our camps at places where they can explore, such as libraries, museums and gardens.
You will love dropping your child off at camp knowing they will have fun while expanding their knowledge of topics such as oceanography, biology, ancient civilizations and more. They won’t think about learning — they’ll just know they’re having a blast. The social aspect is rewarding, too. Children make new friends when they meet people from other schools.
After-School Science Clubs in Clarks Green, PA, for Elementary-Aged Children
Does your child need something to do after school? Our after-school science clubs offer the perfect opportunity to engage children while also helping them build on concepts they learn in the classroom. We do fun experiments and other activities that provide hands-on learning. When your child gets home, they’ll want to show you everything they discovered at science club.
Our program immerses kids in different subjects and maintains a fast pace, so no one gets bored. Club topics rotate every three to five weeks. Our clubs meet for an hour after school once a week. We send each child home with a Parent Page that explains what we did that day and suggests other activities your elementary schooler can try at home to build on the concepts we learned. Topics for our after-school STEM clubs include:
- Physiology
- Anatomy
- Coding
- Chemistry
After-school activities have been tied to greater academic achievement as well as improved student behavior. Kids will socialize with other children in elementary school and learn to work together during our group activities. Most of all, these clubs let your child open their mind and use their imagination while they learn, a critical aspect of every child’s day.
