About
Messy experiments. Big discoveries. Endless curiosity.
If your child loves asking “what happens if…?”, Weird & Wacky Science Lab is where curiosity takes center stage.
In this hands-on science camp, campers roll up their sleeves and dive into the fun, surprising, and sometimes messy side of science. Through exciting experiments and outdoor exploration, students investigate the basics of chemistry, physics, biology, and environmental science—all in a way that’s engaging, playful, and age-appropriate.
Campers will pop, squish, ooze, build, and explore as they conduct experiments using everyday materials and items found in nature. From examining pond water under microscopes to creating eye-catching chemical reactions, this camp turns big scientific ideas into unforgettable experiences.
What students will do:
Create hands-on experiments like neon slime, solar ovens, and sound-making instruments
Explore chemistry and physics through safe, guided reactions
Investigate biology by examining bugs, pond water, and natural materials
Learn about photosynthesis and energy through outdoor experiments
Build confidence asking questions, testing ideas, and making discoveries
This camp is held both indoors and outdoors, encouraging movement, exploration, and curiosity. Getting messy isn’t just allowed—it’s part of the learning.
Weird & Wacky Science Lab is a favorite for younger campers and a perfect introduction to STEM thinking. Students who enjoy this camp often love moving on to LEGO Robotics, Junior Game Designers, or other hands-on engineering camps.
