Club SciKidz NOVA offers a wide variety of unique science and technology summer camp programs with hands-on, interactive STEM-based lessons that go beyond traditional classroom theory.
The Club SciKidz NOVA - Jr. Space Explorer camp offers an exciting journey through the Milky Way with over twenty astronomy projects. Campers will engage in hands-on activities such as experimenting with screaming balloon rockets, using solar glasses, constructing and utilizing a star finder, and building telescopes. They will also have the opportunity to build and launch their own rockets, create glow-in-the-dark models of Saturn, design UV bracelets, and build sundials. The program aims to inspire a love for STEM by demonstrating how science works in the real world through interactive experiments and make-and-take projects, fostering observation, measurement, identification of properties, and experimentation skills related to life, earth, and physical science concepts. The curriculum is designed to be exciting and interactive, keeping children engaged and eager to learn, and often includes language arts, history, and mathematical components to enrich and empower children in science exploration.
A typical day includes general check-in, an all-camp science demonstration, multiple STEAM rotations, snack and refresh breaks, lunch/recess, and organized outdoor play and team-building activities.
This camp is best for elementary-aged children (grades 1-3) who have a genuine interest in how things work, what things are made of, and how science applies to the real world, particularly those with a curiosity about space and rocket science.
