Summer Camps for 2015
It’s time for summer camps at The Science Zone. We have a bunch of new camps and a different format from previous years. Camps will run from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Most of the camps will be Monday through Friday and the ones that are only 3 days will be partnered with 2 day camps to help fill out the week. The camps will be open to children who have completed at least one year of kindergarten and above. We will be dividing into two age groups so that we can provide appropriate lessons for all campers.
We will provide a morning and afternoon snack. Campers should pack a lunch or we will provide lunch for an additional fee.
All 5 day camps $125.00 for members and $250.00 for non members.
All 3 day camps $75.00 for members and $150.00 for non members.
All 2 day camps $50.00 for members and $100.00 for non members.

For campers that have not completed kindergarten, we have Wee Science on Tuesdays and Fridays. Those classes will be one hour long and we will provide a snack. Due to the age of the campers, an adult must accompany the children during the class.
