STEMventure Traveling Camps
STEMventure Traveling Camps
Dive into hands-on science learning, book a STEMventure
Our camps are led by an experienced STEM Educator. They take place over the course of 4 hours and are repeatable with multiple groups. Each camp contains multiple, unique hands-on activities to scale up camper knowledge and engage them in real world exploration of STEM concepts. Camps are aimed at grades K-5. Please inquire if you have any questions or if you’d like to explore how to shape your camp experience to fit classroom or organization goals and needs.
BOOK THE LATEST STEMVENTURE!
STEMventures are an important tool for institutions and organizations that need science instruction support. Together, we engage and supplement science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education across the state. Don’t forget to also look at our STEMventure Traveling Camps—hours of SDDC STEM Educator led exploration—and our SDDC STEM Educator led STEMventure Programs!

ROBOTICS CAMP
AI is all the rage, but it begins with simple code instructions to a robot. Campers learn the basics of coding and robotics and ignite their curiosity, building with LEGOs and thinking creatively about how their machines can perform tasks to solve a set of sticky problems.
- Activities include: Code a teacher, Cryptograms, Pseudocode, Bee Bots
- This camp requires a flat, solid surface that the robots can roll around on. Access to electricity is preferable but not required.
SCIENCE + ART CAMP
Movies, photography, painting, do you know the science of color, chemicals, and special effects? Campers get their hands dirty as they walk the line where art and science meet. In the process they find out how artists impact the way scientists communicate with everyday people
- Activities include: Light Maze, Color Hop, Hidden No More, Color Wheel
- This camp requires a space where lights can be turned off and on easily and preferably has window coverage.
SPACE CAMP
Suit up for adventure, and rocket away as we explore the sun, moon, planets and many more wonders above our atmosphere! Campers travel to the stars in our Journey Beyond the Known Planetarium and study the behavior of matter through time and space with interactive, hands-on experiments.
- This camp requires access to electricity and an interior space for either our large dome (20’x20’ with 19’ minimum ceiling height) or small dome (17’ x 17’ with 10’ minimum ceiling height).
