A Day In The #1 Day Camp for Kids
Our day camps are a joyful mix of discovery, creativity, and hands-on learning. A typical day at our camps involves many activities designed to spark curiosity, spanning from designing inventions and conducting real science experiments to building friendships and enjoying collaborative challenges. Kids from PreK up to 8th grade enjoy a dynamic environment where they can explore new ideas, ask “what if,” and engage with science in ways that are both exciting and age-appropriate.
Arrival & Activity Quest
8:30am - 9:15am
Kids arrive and are welcomed into our centers, where they are met with a curious problem of the day, written on our Wonder Wall. They open the day with an innovation activity to get their brain active and to connect with fellow campers, where they are given 30 minutes to activate using art, critical thinking, sensory, and thematic activities.
Hands-on Science Discovery Class
9:15am - 10:30am
The kids take this hands-on science discovery class, where they engage with real science experiments to understand that day's problem, and then begin applying the science to making a real product.
Snack Break
10:30am - 10:45am
A peanut and tree-nut free snack break occurs, where kids enjoy an energetic meal.
Innovation & Creativity Class
10:45am - 12:00pm
Students use the science skills obtained during morning discovery, and apply real world problem solving to design and innovate products that help solve the problem. For example, they may design a flexible wearable arm crane to help them reach a box of cereal on a high shelf, after exploring stiffness and durability of materials during discovery time.
Lunch Break
12:00pm - 12:45pm
Kids enjoy a nutritious lunch break, prepared by parents.
Art & Creativity Studio
12:45pm - 1:30pm
This studio offers students engaging and creative STEAM projects that balance the learning and focus on design and imagination, which enhances long-term outperformance in kids.
Outdoor Experience
1:45pm - 2:30pm
Kids participate in a set of fun outdoors activities that offer physical engagement, socio-emotional learning, and collaboration. This is perfect for acquiring problem-solving skills and community building.
Closing Ceremonies
2:30pm - 3:00pm
Kids reimagine how to apply today’s class to new engineering problems, then complete any final projects, before safely departing at 3pm.
Full Day Pick-up
3:00pm
Parents pick-up the kids from our locations.
Extended Day (including Kids CEO Labs)
3:00pm - 5:00pm
Our custom extended day program that offers additional STEM and Entrepreneurship focused daily challenges, which allows for parents who can’t pick up until after work to know their kids are fully engaged all day.
