Slimy Potions Camp - Mon & Tues: July 1st & 2nd from 9:30am to 12:30pm; $115

Join us in the depths of the Mad Science Laboratory where we harness the marvelous powers of liquids! Join us for a Mad “hands-on” experience as a Junior Mad Scientist! We’ll create chemical reactions, learn to make bath fizzers, find out the secret to making chocolate taffy rolls and ooey gooey slime, create acid/base volcanoes and lots more! Allergy Alert: This camp includes some food items.

Inventor’s Academy Camp - Mon & Tues: July 1st & 2nd from 1:00pm to 4:00pm; $115

Campers will overcome a series of challenges using basic materials, simple machines, tips from famous inventors and the most important of all - their mind. With a little bit of ingenuity, campers will create catapults and forts, construct working light sticks to bring home and a set of circuits with batteries and light bulbs. While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, this camp is 100% FUN! Great take-home experiments as well!
