Summer Science Camps for Kids in New Castle, DE
Looking for unforgettable summer STEM programs to spark your child’s curiosity this summer? Science Explorers offers hands-on, interactive science camps that turn curious kids into confident young scientists. Whether your child is into bubbling potions, cool chemical reactions or launching rockets, we’ve got a camp that will have them saying, “Best summer ever!”
Reasons to Get Your Kids Interested in STEM Learning
STEM refers to a method of teaching about science, technology, engineering and math in an integrated manner using real-world circumstances. These subjects are the building blocks of how the world works. Kids who explore STEM build critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills that stick with them for life. Summer is the perfect time to explore these subjects in a fun, low-pressure environment.
While STEM knowledge will benefit your kids no matter what career path they choose to follow, it will also prepare them to address some of the world’s problems when they’re older. Climate change, food shortages, pollution and environmental disasters are just samples of the issues STEM can help solve.

When they attend one of our science camps in Dover, DE, or a nearby city such as Brookside, Smyrna or Seaford, your kids will learn about an array of subjects that will ignite their interest in science, technology, engineering and math. Anatomy, programming and chemistry are just samples of the subjects we might dive into during a summer camp.
Science Explorers Makes STEM Learning a Blast
At Science Explorers, we ditch the textbooks and dive into hands-on experiments that show kids just how exciting science can be. From making elephant toothpaste to learn about chemical reactions to studying DNA from familiar objects like strawberries, we believe in learning by doing. New Castle County summer camps are packed with interactive activities that let kids explore, question and discover.
Our science clubs and camps make STEM learning a blast for kids between four and 11. Our programs include hands-on learning that engages the senses and captivates imaginations. The more their senses are involved in learning, the more likely it is that your kids will remember what they learn, which is crucial when it comes to applying their STEM knowledge throughout their lives.
About Our Science Clubs
Just like Science Explorers hosts science camps in Wilmington, DE, and other locations throughout New Castle County, such as Georgetown, we also host science clubs all over the region. Each club lasts between three and five weeks. During that time, your kids will attend a one-hour session each week immediately after school. Your kids will:
- Make friends, as our programs encourage them to socialize and form friendships.
- Develop a love for learning about the world around them.
- Practice their critical thinking as they learn to observe their surroundings and ask thought-provoking questions.
- Use their problem-solving skills to overcome challenges with scientific knowledge.
Club participants will take whatever creation they made during the meeting home to show off to their friends and family members. They’ll also receive a parent page that discusses what the meeting covered and provides ideas about things you and your kids can do to explore science further.
