Science Alliance Day Camps teach kids about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) in a fun, “hands-on, minds-on” interactive setting. Through experiments, activities, games, presentations, guest speakers, field trips, and more, we have gotten local kids excited about science and learning since 1996.
Spring into science with our Science Alliance Spring Break Camp! This camp invites young explorers to dive into a week of biology-themed fun and discovery. Immerse yourself in the world around us by engaging in creative, STEAM-based projects and activities. Join us for an unforgettable journey where science and fun come together!
Our Spring Break camps run from March 18-22 and March 25-29. Members can register on January 15, so secure your child’s spot soon before registration opens to the general public on January 29!
