We鈥檒l learn about deep-sea ecosystems, bioluminescence, and the everyday household products that come from the sea. We鈥檒l also build an elaborate ocean mural and each day, creating new sea creatures to add, including sea snails, sea turtles, sharks, and jellyfish. Campers, please come with your creative caps on ready to learn, color, paint, and have fun! For the budding sea explorer, you won't want to miss this introduction to the wild world of ocean dynamics.
Tinker Tots
Welcome to the exploratorium, where tiny tinkering hands transform the ordinary to extraordinary! Tinkering, the playful relative of the more serious activity of engineering, is used daily by amateurs and professionals looking to solve both simple and complex problems. In this camp, we'll complete a series of hands-on projects as we work our way through the engineering design process. Our objective will be to tinker around using common materials in an effort to solve a plethora of problems. This is were imagination comes alive, so strap on your thinking caps and let's get tinkering!
