Science Camps for Kids in Delaware County, PA
At Science Explorers, we provide week-long day camp opportunities for children interested in science from ages 4 to 11. We make science classes feel like play. Every experiment, project and activity is designed to inspire and stick with kids long after the lab coats come off.
Why STEM Learning?
Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) build problem-solving skills, spark curiosity and prepare kids for the future — but most of all, it’s fun! When kids explore STEM concepts through hands-on experiences, they discover how the world works. STEM learning fuels creativity, confidence and a lifelong love of discovery.
At Science Explorers, our instructors engage. They ask questions, challenge kids to think critically and cheer them on every step of the way. Whether your child is obsessed with snow, fascinated by CSI or loves building things, we meet them where their curiosity lives and help it grow.
Science Explorers Makes STEM Fun
We don’t just teach science. We transform it into an adventure. At our camps, kids actively take part in experiments that keep them laughing, learning and exploring all day long. From launching rockets to making slime and designing their own inventions, every activity is built around doing, not just watching. Our trained instructors guide campers through exciting, age-appropriate projects that teach core STEM principles in unforgettable ways.
When we say we have something for everyone, we mean it — from more basic science lessons to specific branches in the overarching subject of science. Take a glance at our options below!
