August courses & single sessions for our STEM classes are now live on our website, perfect for families looking for fun summer activities to keep littles busy!
We’re taking a short break from classes this week as we wrap up our summer camp program. Classes will resume August 10th.
🔦 SUMMER NIGHTS (August 10 - 14):
Flick on your flashlight and jump into this nighttime camping experience as we zip ourselves into a cozy tent, look for glowing fireflies, play with light-up sensory cubes, look for constellations, and dig through a glowing sensory bin!
🌊 OCEANS (August 17 - 21):
Explore all things related to the deep blue sea as we build coral reefs, go fishing, play with wave bottles, dig for shells in the sand, and investigate animals that live in the ocean!
🦕 DINOSAURS (August 24 - 28)
Dig for dinosaur bones, help dinosaurs avoid erupting volcanoes, make dinosaur footprints in black “volcanic” play dough, and build (or take apart) dinosaur skeletons!

Join us in this glow-in-the-dark class as we investigate the planets in our solar system, launch rockets, melt icy comets, and use flashlights in our space tent... this class will be out of this world!
We will take a short break from classes next week (August 3 - 7) as we wrap up our summer camp, but classes will be back Monday, August 10th! August courses are open for registration now and single sessions will open tonight at 8 PM!
Let’s find the STEM in classic nursery rhymes! Play with fluffy polyfill as we fill up three bags full of “wool,” build a wall for Humpty Dumpty, make hot crossed buns out of play dough, use catapults to help the cow jump over the moon, and play with a water table to help the itsy bitsy spider get up the water spout!

Did you know babies, toddlers & preschoolers can explore GEOMETRY? In this kid-friendly math class, kids will practice spatial awareness as they stamp shapes with washable ink, play hide and seek with shapes, solve shape puzzles, build and crawl through big 3-D shapes, and experiment with how many scoops it takes to fill containers of different shapes.
July classes are booking up and August courses are available for registration on our website. Book now and fill your summer with STEM-themed fun!
