Morning sessions: Under the Sea
Learn about life under the sea! Campers will have fun studying different sea creatures through a variety of STEM activities. Build and program a robotic dolphin, create a glowing LED angler fish, and experiment with oil and water to learn how marine mammals stay warm.
Afternoon sessions: Space Is the Place
Space is the place! Learn all about the wonders and mysteries of what lies beyond Earth. Study planets, black holes, stars, and discuss whether alien life is possible. Campers will complete many fun and engaging STEAM projects including LED star circuitry and a robotic Mars rover!
Camp Overview
We are serving students ages 6 through 9 this summer, in a small group setting (maximum of 12 students per week). Small groups are key to building community, accommodating our campers' sensory needs (space, noise reduction), and allowing our teachers to provide individualized support to all students!
Weekly camp themes vary and include many different STEM-focused activities like SCRATCH Minecraft coding, Nanobot robotics, and simple circuits.
Location and Hours
Our summer camp is located in Room 211 at the Williamsburg Community Chapel, located at 3899 John Tyler Hwy in Williamsburg, VA. Camps run from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, and campers should bring their own nutritious snacks and lunches.
Each week of camp will have two themes: a morning and an afternoon session. Our camp is offered in collaboration with STEAMWorks Studio in Princeton, NJ, and campers will enjoy many opportunities for hands-on learning with a variety of STEM topics, as well as lots of movement and play!
