Captivate S.T.E.A.M. Camp Jr. is a day camp for ages 7-9 which incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics into the activities for each week. The science lab investigations and art projects are thoughtfully intertwined in this camp.

Our S.T.E.A.M. camp inspires each child with individualized attention and problem solving projects, and is kept intentionally small so that children can build relationships with each other and the staff.

Camp Themes:

Jr. Electrical Engineer:

Explore electricity with easy snap-together blocks, and investigate the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Play with a motor and an electromagnet. Create cool circuits to make light bulbs light up or fans to whiz around. Art projects are inspired by the science concepts in electricity and magnetism.

Jr. Chemist:

dentify chemical reactions by doing hands-on chemistry labs specifically designed for young kids. Observe color change, bubbling gas, inflating balloons, and so much more. Use pH indicators like litmus paper and cabbage juice solution. Investigate the incredible Periodic Table of the Elements. Daily art and craft projects will compliment the science or engineering principles. All materials included in the cost of the camp.

Jr. Physicist:

Simple Machines is a hands-on, lab-based camp revolving around hands-on mechanics experiments. Campers will explore each of the simple machines using these cool snap-on kits. Campers will get acquainted with vocabulary such as potential and kinetic energy, inertia, force, mass, acceleration, friction, and weight. Art projects are thoughtfully integrated with the science theme of simple machines.

Jr. Spy:

In this fun camp, you will be working as a secret agent for the F.B.I. who is trying to find a missing rogue spy. You don't know if this spy is alive or dead. You will be using tools from your tool kit to figure out what happened and solve this mystery. You will stealthily collect and analyze evidence, such as fingerprints, footprints and tire tracks. You will study hair and fibers collected, analyze counterfeit currency and forged documents, and use deciphering codes and secret notes. After studying the biographies of some real-life spies through history, you feel ready to tackle this investigation. Will you be able to find the missing spy?

My 8 year old son loved this camp. It was his first time attending. We have been trying different camps for the past couple years and we will definitely sign him up for more weeks next year. The camp was structured really great with science, outside time and art. He loved his teacher and had a lot of fun building animal machines.

My 8 year old had so much fun this year and last year. We will definitely be continuing next year. He gets to build machines, make art, play with new friends, etc. He thinks his teachers are great and he leaves feeling happy and good about himself. Communication with parents is straightforward and clear and we’ve been really satisfied.
