STEM Explorer Camp for ages 8-12. Learn by doing in a natural camp setting with both indoor and outdoor activities. Campers will learn about entomology, robotics, science in the kitchen and building bridges using the engineering design process. Camp runs from June 7-11, 2026, with check-in at 4 p.m. Central time and ending at 11 a.m. Central time. Registration opens March 1, 2026. 4-H membership is NOT required. Scholarships available for income eligible families.

Energy is everywhere! In this camp we will explore energy-related phenomena and explore energy transfer using the Project Lead the Way Launch module 'Energy Exploration.' Campers will explore ways that energy is at play all around us. They will make observations of energy-related events and investigate ways that energy can be transferred. Through scientific observations, hands-on explorations, and field trips to energy sources campers will learn all about energy and why it is so important in their lives. This day camp has a daily drop-off between 8:00-8:30 AM, and pick-up in the afternoon between 4:00-4:30 PM. Activities include: visiting businesses to learn about careers and real-life uses of energy, virtual field trip of a dam, designing windmill prototypes with VEX Go, exploring alternative energy sources with field trips to solar village and green roof, and designing restraint systems for vehicles.
