Launch and watch your very own rocket speed 300 feet into the air. Then it’s yours to take home. Make and take home multiple rockets of varying difficulty throughout the session. These rockets and airplanes will then be used to investigate basic aeronautical concepts including propulsion, thrust, lift, drag and more. We will hypothesize about travel in outer space, like how to get a United States astronaut to Mars and life on Mars. Do you have the right stuff? Please bring two, 2-liter empty bottles for use in experiments.

Learn how to fly like the pros in the Drone Racing League by training on a flight simulator. Once you learn the basics of flying, assemble your very own drone to take home after camp (if you choose to purchase). After learning drone safety and maintenance, participants will take their drone to the skies and compete in numerous races and challenges. Led by experienced instructors, participants will leave camp with the skills and knowledge to pilot their drones and keep them running. The drones used in camps have cameras and are perfect for entry level pilots. Participants can purchase a drone to take home (UFO 4000) for an additional $40. Select price at checkout.

Discover the world of 3D design and printing with Tinkercad in this creative, hands-on camp.

High energy and full of creativity, problem-solving, and the thrill of seeing your inventions come to life!

Lights, camera . . . CLAY! This camp combines your two favorite things - clay and creating your very own stop-motion movie. Work in small teams as you sculpt colorful clay characters, design amazing sets, and bring a super fun story to life using a stop-motion software; the same technique used in your favorite animated films. Learn the magic of moviemaking as you shape, pose, and film wacky creations frame by frame. By the end of camp, take home a super cool mini movie to show family and friends.

Unleash your inner hero in this creative STEAM adventure! In this camp, participants will bring superheroes to life through storytelling, design, and beginner-friendly coding. Using Scratch, they will create simple interactive games where heroes move, jump, and overcome challenges, while learning foundational coding concepts. Participants will also step into the world of digital media by producing their own superhero stop-motion short film, complete with props and sets they design themselves. This camp blends coding, art, and imagination. Participants should have basic reading skills, be comfortable using a computer, and bring a USB drive on the last day. Registration is non-refundable or changeable within 2 weeks of start date for Tech Academy offerings.

Welcome to Cogwart’s – the magical school where engineering skills are as powerful as wands! “Cog” represents clever engineering and creative problem solving, while “warts”. . . well, the magical mischief is all yours. Campers team up to solve enchanted puzzles, crack secret codes, and build clever contraptions to escape from daily magical scenarios. In the second half of the class, they become the masterminds, designing their own escape rooms filled with tricky engineering challenges for others to solve. On the final day, teams go head-to-head, testing their wits, creativity, and teamwork in the ultimate spellbinding showdown!

Where imagination meets engineering! Step into the Curiosity Workshop, where young creators experiment, tinker, and discover how science and engineering make our world work.
