About

Destination Science

SCIENCE! SCIENCE! & MORE SCIENCE!
STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning is more important than ever before. It has become a national movement. At Destination Science, we say “Science is a Way of Thinking!” When we know how to “do” science, we know how to be creative, critical, and organized thinkers and problem solvers.

DS BUILDS CURIOUS KIDS!
In all of our activities, we teach children how to ask great questions and how to wonder out loud. Every day provides opportunities to create new things and imagine. At Destination Science, we use science to prepare your child for life!

KIDS LOVE IT!
We’re safe, non-stop fun, so kids can’t wait to go every day! We comb the globe every year searching for fun, child friendly materials that captivate & engage campers into the world of science. Our projects are innovative & diverse and best of all campers get to take home all of their creations.

LASTING VALUE!
Kids take home all the projects & toys they build themselves to keep the fun and learning going long after camp is done! Campers love sharing with friends & family what they made & the science behind it.

IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR KIDS!
Parents love that our fun-filled programs make positive, powerful differences in their children—giving life-long value! Our program is meticulously designed to use fun science as a tool to grow terrific skills for everyday life, including:
PERSISTENCE, COOPERATION, CREATIVITY AND ESPECIALLY…CURIOSITY!NEW FRIENDS!

Destination Science is a warm, wonderful environment where kids feel comfortable making connections with others! Parents tell us that their child loves that everyone at camp shares the idea that it is cool to be smart!

(Space Base Astronaut Camp)

July 14, 2024 - Kelley Keating

Not a fun time for my 6 year old. It was struggle to get my kiddo into this camp daily, The kids had near zero time outside and (I was told) it was more like a classroom where kids couldn’t play and were expected to “sit” most of the day. Of course I wasn’t there but for the money paid vs facility housed and daily updates from my kid this is a no go for us but maybe fun for others.

The program finds the most innovative ways to teach science in a way that appeals to many age levels. Kids come home with the coolest tools and toys! We still use the tiny pocket microscope and the kids are in high school!

My boys (10 & 9yrs), really enjoyed themselves. I only signed up for 1 week of camp and they were disappointed that the other camps have a wait list. I asked them if they felt to old, they said no and are looking forward to attending camp next summer.

Questions & Answers

Does the camp provide snack and water? Do we need to pack the lunch&snack&water on our own? Thanks. (Space Base Astronaut Camp) -

Please send a healthy lunch packed in an insulated bag or cooler. Destination Science recommends a morning snack and if they like also an afternoon snack! They suggest 2 water bottles per day, kids like it when they have a frozen bottle keeping their lunch cold, it will be somewhat slushy in the heat of the afternoon & soooo refreshing! -

The picture related to the Playspace Engineering & Spy Tech camp has a 'marble-run' board that i recognize from last year's camp my kids were part of. Does this mean this playspace engineering camp will have the exact same marble run (which we have already)? or are all the props/activities entirely new? I just want to make sure my kids aren't playing with toys they have at home from last year's camp. thanks so much! - Melody (Solar Engineers & Sci-Mystery)

Hi! All of Destination Science camp topics are new each year, so the curriculum is not repeated. -
