Camps

 

Our children’s programs are founded on experiential learning and national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) standards. At the SDC we take STEM a step further and make it STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Mathematics) because we believe that you need to include the creative element for a comprehensive educational experience. We tap into your child’s curiosity with fun and exciting hands-on activities taught by qualified professionals.

Potions & Potterology
A week full of fairy tales and magic spells – collect your wand and broom to begin exploration and participate in the dual of wizards and witches. Our pre-k campers will explore storytelling and magic potions while our older campers will explore herbology and wizardry.

Dinosaur Roar
Welcome all future Paleontologists! This week will be fun packed with Dinosaurs. Our researchers will learn about several types of dinosaurs, create fossils, make volcanoes erupt, and practice their paleontology skills in our Dino Dig.

July 7 – 11:
Bug’s Life
Learn about bugs in your own backyard and explore what green is growing. Approximately 80% of animal species on Earth are bugs. We will learn how insects provide natural services for us that we take for granted. They are pollinators, undertakers, decomposers, garbage collectors, and natural fertilizers of our planet. Learn about trees, twigs, stumps, greenery and all that nature offers and the importance of their role in our ecosystem.

July 14 – 18:
Critter Connection
This week we will explore critters of various types, to include reptiles, farm animals, and other furry friends. We will learn about and interact with amphibians and reptiles, while getting an up-close visit from our on-campus friends. We will introduce visitors from a local farm, with some one-on-one time with those visitors.

July 21 – 25:
Ahoy Ye Pirates & Mermaids
For hundreds of years pirates sailed the salty seas looking for treasures. Many pirates and sailors told stories of mermaids. This week we will learn about oceans, plan for a voyage, discuss how pirates survived on the water, and explore the truth of mermaids. Additionally, we will explore sand and shells from our beautiful beaches and learn about water flow and sea life.

July 28 – August 1:
Hometown Heroes
All heroes don’t wear capes! We will take the opportunity to learn about the importance of emergency personnel. With visits from many agencies, we will study specifics about the law, what constitutes an emergency call, how to escape a burning building and safety in our waters.
