STEMful camps teach the mindsets necessary for cultivating lifelong STEM learning, and are built on the framework of five objectives: curiosity, purpose, self expression, resourcefulness and innovation.
Our camps engage children ages 3.5-10 years old in wide STEM concepts and activities designed to “sprout their curiosity”.

STEMful summer camps draw on the popularity of common mythological and literary themes to engage children and builds skills needed to observe, ask questions, identify solvable problems, find the right tools, and ideate solutions.
All camp programs are designed for Team Curie, DaVinci and Tesla (unless specified). Refer to Age Level and Requirements tab to learn about each team age range and requirements and Cancellation Policy prior to registration.
6/7-6/8 and 7/30-8/3: Elemental Superheroes
How do heroes accomplish their epic feats? And what is the source of their superpowers? We’ll find our own answers this June. Whether we study how atoms bond to form molecules, or look at the malleable abilities of mercurial substances, kids will draw inspiration from the elements to create their own superhero identities.
6/11-6/15 and 8/6-8/10: Weather Superheroes
How do heroes accomplish their epic feats? And what is the source of their superpowers? We’ll find out own answers this June. Whether we study unique cloud formations, or explore the nature of lightning with Superheros like Storm, campers will draw inspiration from weather systems to create their own superhero identities.
6/18-6/22: SuperGirls
How do heroes accomplish their epic feats? And what is the source of their superpowers? We’ll find out own answers this June. Whether we spend time with Super Girl, exploring solar energy explosions, or take a biological survey of plants from Wonder Woman’s home, campers will draw inspiration from popular supergirl myths to create their own superhero identities. *This camp includes girls and boys! The specific figures of focus will be women superheroes. All genders can particiapte in this camp.
6/25-6/29 and 8/13-8/17: A Wrinkle in Time
Drawing inspiration from Madeliene L’engle’s classic novel, “A Wrinkle in Time”, campers will explore this memorable plot line through the lens of STEAM learning. Whether we employ geometry to investigate the mysteries of the tesseract, envision intergalactic travel in search of a lost family member, or design robots based on descriptions from the book, we’ll be taking a fantastic journey through time and space.
7/2-7/6: Adventures in Wonderland (no camp 7/4)
Drawing inspiration from the classic Lewis Carroll tale “Adventures in Wonderland”, campers will look at the world of Wonderland through the lens of STEAM learning. Whether we’re using card games to practice math skills, or creating narratives about habitats of Wonderland creatures, kids will to look at this classic tale in a new way.
7/9-7/13: The Mystery of the Funland Robot
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!” once said Sherlock Holmes. Learners will become detectives, using clues to solve mysteries and learn about STEAM. This theme will draw inspiration from Scooby Doo’s “Charlie the Funland Robot” as learners re-create theme park attractions, build robots and solve the case of the Funland Robot!
7/16-7/20 and 8/20-8/24: Mr. Lemoncello’s Library (Team Curie)
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!” once said Sherlock Holmes. Learners will become detectives, using clues to solve mysteries and learn about STEAM. This theme will draw inspiration from the popular book and movie “Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library” as children explore early learning programming skills, explore gizmos and gadgets and solve the mystery of the Library!
7/16-7/20 and 8/20-8/24: Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library (Team DaVinci and Tesla)
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!” once said Sherlock Holmes. Learners will become detectives, using clues to solve mysteries and learn about STEAM. This theme will draw inspiration from the popular book and movie “Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library” as learners explore computer programming, high tech gizmos and gadgets and solve the puzzle to escape from the Library!
7/23-7/27 and 8/27-8/31: Adventures of the Stolen Sapphire
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!” once said Sherlock Holmes. Learners will become detectives, using clues to solve mysteries and learn about STEAM. This theme will draw inspiration from American Girl Stories, “The Stolen Sapphire” as learners board an ocean liner from 1906 to explore archeology, how gemstones are formed and solve the case of The Stolen Sapphire!
STEMful fall and winter camps will get into the quintessence world of science. These camps will continue to build skills needed to observe, ask questions, identify solvable problems, find the right tools, and ideate solutions.
