Summertime means STEM Camp Time!
Here are a few FAQs in helping you decide which program is right for you!

🌿What can I expect from these camps?
There are different topics each week! Each camp will include an outdoor hike, STEM activities, animal encounters, and hands-on discovery.

🌿 Why are there Levels 1 & 2?
