Mad Science
Program Description
The Mad Science Summer Camp offers an exciting hands-on learning experience where campers explore science and mathematics through fun experiments and guided discovery.
Children will participate in interactive activities, observe results, and discuss outcomes to develop curiosity and basic scientific thinking. Campers strengthen their math skills through measuring, counting, and comparing during experiments and games, while language and logical reasoning develop as they explain their ideas and problem solve together.
The objective of this camp is to provide hands-on, approachable learning experiences that builds individual confidence while highlighting the role of science in everyday life.
