Secret Agent Lab - Funky Forensics & Launching with Legends
with Mad Science
Secret Agent Lab - Funky Forensics
Step into the shoes of a detective— uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis. Using your observational skills, collect evidence and analyze the clues left behind. Recreate the scene of a crime using schematics. Use science to connect the dots and help sniff out the suspects in this hands-on investigation into the science of sleuthing!
Launching with Legends
Anyone can be an inventor! Discover the work of da Vinci, Edison, Tesla, and Benjamin Franklin and use what you learn to invent solutions to everyday problems. You’ll prepare a proposal and receive a patent certificate for your very own invention. Build your own catapult, and even launch projectiles off a large trebuchet! You’ll bring home countless cool inventions and a squadron of paper airplanes the Wright brothers would be proud of!
For ages 8-12.
Campers must wear sneakers each day.
LEGO™ BRIXOLOGY & Mad Machines and Rocking Rockets
with Mad Science
LEGO™ BRIXOLOGY
Our LEGO™ BRIXOLOGY camp was developed in partnership with LEGO™ Master Builders! Team up to build exclusive creations that will test your engineering abilities! Build carnival rides, paddle boats, mechanical animals, and even a vehicle that moves. Try your hand at nautical, structural, and even biomechanical engineering! Let the tinkering begin!
Mad Machines and Rocking Rockets
Whether you enjoy building or destroying structures, you’ll love this camp! Work with simple machines such as pulleys, wedges, screws, and levers, to build your own catapults! Experiment with tessellation with triangles and cubes. Exercise your ability to work with others while constructing a geodesic dome big enough for everyone to fit inside! Let the building begin!

Robots! Path to Power & NASA STEM Explorers
with Mad Science
Robots! Path to Power
Explore the discoveries and inventions that have made robots possible. From learning how robots light up to getting them moving with gears. After learning the fundamentals, we will experiment with different sources of energy and even get to take a hand-powered generator home. We will see how these energy sources affect the environment and how they compare with sustainable energy while thinking about future energy sources!
NASA STEM Explorers
Developed in partnership with NASA, our campers will think and act like NASA innovators during this hands-on program inspired by the NASA OPTIMUS PRIME Research Challenge (NASA OPSPARC). Use creative and collaborative skills to design a mission patch, train like an astronaut, build a Mars rover and solve real-world engineering problems. How might you use space suit cooling tubes be used to solve a problem here on Earth?

Underground Explorers - from Dinosaurs to Ancient Civilizations! & Jr. Physicians Academy
with Mad Science
Underground Explorers - Dinosaurs to Ancient Civilizations!
Learn about archaeology and the techniques scientists use to excavate long lost cities. Discover ancient civilizations and the tools and artifacts they used in everyday life. Study bone fragments, pottery shards, amber deposits, and fossils to understand what they can tell us about history. Make incredible projects to take home, like an amber time capsule and antique coins from around the world!
Jr. Physicians Academy
Explore all of the cells, organs, muscles, and bones that make up YOU! Put yourself together from the inside out, while learning about all the systems that make your body tick! Get microscopic while making a model cell and inflatable lungs, and then get a little sticky while making Mad Mucus and a mashed potato brain!

Super, Slimy, Smoky Science & Chemical Curiosities
with Mad Science
Super Slimey Smoky Science
Dive into a variety of scientific fields as you help solve a mystery, stretch silly putty and slime, copper-plate nickels, tinker with circuits, and investigate optical illusions. Become captivated by lasers, dry ice, and hair-raising experiments! You will love what happens when you mix science and fun!
Chemical Curiosities
Become a creative chemist through the investigation of the periodic table and the atoms that make up everything around us! Learn about chemical reactions as you grow crystals. We will experiment oxidizing metals with different chemicals to see how rusty they get, design chromatography bandanas to take home, and even make our very own ice cream!

Eureka: Flight to the Future & NASA Journey to Outer Space
with Mad Science
Eureka Flight to the Future
Use your imagination and creativity to escape the dangers of an island and make it back into space! Explore technological advances: submarines, boats, stomp rockets, & spacecraft. Discover science fiction through the works of Jules Verne and Isaac Asimov. All campers will build and take home their own sci-fi inspired light sabers!
NASA Journey to Outer Space
Take a voyage of discovery into the atmosphere and beyond as we explore planets, moons, and other space phenomena. Create a comet and build your own Mad Science rocket and participate in a real NASA style rocket launch! Campers will take home additional NASA activities to complete at home! Mad Science is the ONLY organization licensed by NASA to use these activities for Summer Camps!
