Destination Science stands out with its highly qualified and enthusiastic teachers, three daily hands-on science lessons, and take-home projects that allow learning to continue after camp.
Destination Science's Jedi Engineering Camp offers an immersive STEM experience where campers ages 5-11 delve into the exciting world of space exploration and engineering. Through hands-on activities, children will uncover the secrets of satellites, rovers, and space travel, building their own space machines and experiencing the science behind these concepts. The camp focuses on developing critical life skills such as creativity, perseverance, problem-solving, teamwork, and collaboration. Campers engage in three distinct science stations daily: Discover & Build, Explore & Create, and Engineer & Innovate, ensuring a dynamic and engaging learning environment. Projects range from glowing lightsabers and designing robotics to exploring craters and planets, with many creations taken home to continue the learning beyond camp. The program also incorporates outdoor games with a splash of water to keep campers cool and active during summer afternoons.
A typical day includes three hands-on science stations with experiments, two outdoor action stations for games and fun, and a Camp Rally at the end of the day to celebrate achievements and sing songs.
This camp is best for curious kids aged 5-11 who enjoy hands-on activities and want to explore science and engineering concepts in a fun, engaging, and social environment.
