SUMMER
CAMP!
Experience an extraordinary summer adventure like no other with SMLI. Get ready to embark on a fascinating journey that takes you deep into the mysteries of the ocean and propels you into the vast expanse of the universe. At SMLI Science Summer Camp, we offer a unique and immersive opportunity for young minds to explore the wonders of science in a fun and engaging camp-like atmosphere.
Our camp takes place on the Leeds Pond Preserve, where nature becomes our ultimate laboratory. Discover the magic hidden within the woods, pond, beach, and streams as you dive into a wide range of scientific topics. From captivating chemistry experiments to mind-boggling physics phenomena, from unearthing fossils in paleontology to unraveling the secrets of the stars in astrology, the possibilities are endless.
What sets our camp apart is our "discovery" approach to learning. We believe in bringing science to life through hands-on experiences, where campers actively participate and engage with the material. Prepare for an exciting summer brimming with interactive science activities that will spark your imagination and boost your understanding of the natural world. But it's not just about science—our camp combines education and entertainment, providing all the traditional fun and excitement you expect from a summer camp experience.
Whether you are a young enthusiast eager to explore the wonders of science or a curious mind seeking new knowledge, SMLI Science Summer Camp promises a memorable adventure filled with exploration, discovery, and endless fun. Join us and let your summer come alive with the magic of science!
Jump start your summer with science! Each day will feature hands-on science activities, nature exploration and crafts inspired by the summer season.
