During the summer, we invite our Innovators (Ages 3-5), Investigators (6-7), Creators (8-9) and NexGen Designers (10-14) to join our differentiated programs that all are supported by PowerScience, our proprietary neuroscience-based hands-on science program, that has won awards across the country. Each summer, thousands of kids pour into Kids Science Labs, and do everything from designing Netflix streaming tech and Kid Sized Go-Carts, to exploring how to better insulate their lunchbag and developing a puncture proof soccer ball.
Every Summer Camp @KSL includes the following
- Afternoon Creativity Study - A daily 45 minute STEAM challenge that changes daily to give kids an opportunity to solve a basic science problem using their hands-on creativity and imagination.
- Morning Discovery Science - The first science class on a typical camp day is comprised of 4-6 discovery science experiments. Think of it as mixing lemons, sugar, and water to try to find the right combination of juice, and then adjusting the color, texture, and additives to see how it affects the flavor and emotional response of the juice. Basic Science.
- Morning Innovation Science - The second science class, on a typical day involves a real problem based on discovery science, and then we teach kids how to use engineering problem solving to make a real product, that often they take home on the 2nd and 4th day of camp.
- Afternoon FourSquare/Creators Choice - After a brief lunch, students are given options to choose sensory, engineering, art, or academic reading activities, so they can optimize a small bit of free time to play with friends or continue one of the morning experiences.
- Outdoor Experience - An outdoor, instructor led adventure, with sharks and minnows, selected sports, mentos & coke launches, and general fun activities for kids that compliment our more academic focus morning and help release some energy before pickup.
- The Big Close & Foursquare - We end the day applying the science and providing our students a strucured time to engage materials one more time before their scheduled pickup at the conclusion of the camp day
