Junior Elementary STEM Week Camps
Our Junior Elementary STEM Week Day Camps are focused on engaging older junior elementary campers ages 7, 8 (& 9) with STEM-based playful learning activities that are age-appropriate. All our Junior Elementary STEM Camps utilize the mornings to focus on STEM learning with our specialized camp program partners, while the afternoons are spent being physically active, with the pace of the camp changing depending on the energy levels of the children.
For all the Junior Elementary STEM Camps, total camp sizes are small and supervision is maintained at a high level, with our Camp Experience Officers (CEOs) delivering attentive care with the flexibility to address individual camper's needs when required.
