Fun Summer Camp for Kids

Summon your wands and brooms for all things Harry Potter! Partake in the magic behind the phenomena as you get sorted into your house, embody your favorite character, reimagine quidditch, and dabble with spells during your weeklong stay at our wizarding world!

The Great White shark is JAWSome, but what other sharks do you know about? Join us as we dive deep into the vast ocean of shark knowledge, and swim with the FINtastic predators of the sea!

No one can get enough of the comic book heroes–what makes them so appealing? What powers do they possess, and which ones are your favorites? What kind of heroes do you know in your own life? Are you on your way to becoming a superhero?

Our solar system is the backdrop (and even takes center stage) for many books, movies, and television shows. But how much do you know about our own Milky Way Galaxy? Consider the space tourism industry and companies such as SpaceX. Why are so many eager to explore space? Join us in our out-of-this-world exploration of “the final frontier”!

Often called national treasures, our national parks are the physical essence of what makes the US “America the Beautiful.” Learn more about your country while planning an itinerary for a family trip to one of these treasures!

What piece of equipment do the most popular American sports all include? A ball of course! Learn the history of these sports, learn the rules of the games, and then play ball! Our goal isn’t perfection of the game, it’s just to connect with our friends, get our hearts pumping, and have some fun!

Let’s visit the story of how DreamWorks and Pixar rise to become two of the biggest animation studios. While exploring the movie hits of both companies we will also channel our creativity and imagination to develop unique animated characters that will tell their own stories.

This classic movie takes place at the American Museum of Natural History and its characters are historical figures who come to life at night. Utilizing this idea of historical fantasy, we will set one foot in the past as we recreate and reimagine what once was by designing our own unique museum exhibits!

No junior spy is fully ready until they go through the stealth training shared within this camp. Master the art of code creating & busting, and stealthily maneuver obstacle courses & laser traps to get through an IRL Among Us challenge, and so you’ll never be “sus”!

Mother Earth thanks you for being so dedicated to the 3Rs—reduce, reuse, and recycle. Learn other amazing ideas on how to be kind to Earth, too! We only have this one livable planet, it’s important to know how to actively treat her right!

Safari Kid campers will not want to miss watching their innovative visions and creative stories come to life during this week of virtual reality! They will learn how to create, design, and build engaging virtual environments through the use of a VR creation tool. Campers will develop their spatial skills, tap into their imaginations, and create immersive digital experiences. Have no doubt that your camper will be ready for the reality of the future after this week!

Get ready to be immersed in a hands-on experience of amazing technology where real life is modified and enhanced by computer-generated sights and sounds. Safari Kid campers will learn how to integrate digital information with live video or real time environments. Using smart devices and AR software, campers will create their own digital characters who will integrate with the real environment.

We know that all businesses require a web page in which to prove their existence. Your camper will be given an edge by learning how web pages are created and designed through the use of HTML and CSS code. Safari Kid campers will be given the amazing opportunity of learning how to consider the framework of a website they want to build and get familiar with reading, writing, and debugging HTML code.

In a world where complicated computer graphics such as CGI are dominating movies, there is a growing movement to get back to simpler, more artistic effects. In this week, students will learn the simple story telling charm of stop animation. They will enjoy delving into their imaginations to create a story line, setting, and characters to create their own stop animation movie. They will learn how to add music, sound effects, titles, and credits to their creation, and by the end of the week will delight in sharing this work of art with their peers.

We know kids have a natural fascination with both building things and taking things apart. This curiosity is how our little explorers figure out how things work in the world. Safari Kid Engineering Camp guides this natural curiosity into more formal explorations using hands-on learning strategies and project-based learning. Safari Kid campers will discover the process of construction through our innovative engineering curriculum in which they will investigate a problem, imagine a solution, and then work to design, create, and improve it. As a result, our campers’ self-confidence will blossom as they begin to see themselves as creative problem solvers, while also developing inner strength in character through their perseverance and determination.
