Early registration is $0 at any KSL available location below

How do Holiday and School Break Camps @ KSL support student learning when school is out?

We offer parents a break and students (PreK-6th grade) a STEAM experience filled with fun hands-on science with fellow students. Our holiday science camps allow young scholars to continue learning, during the days off from school, while having fun exploring innovative hands-on science projects with our dedicated teaching faculty.

What types of topics do we offer in Holiday Break Camp?

KSL Spotlight: Engineering University For Kids

All Sixty (60) of our Holiday and School Break Camps enable students to develop problem solving, creativity, and creative design skills. As kids age up, our teachers increase experiment challenges, modify discussion, and shift the focus of each learning environment to yield long-term outperformance in kids. (see below)

How do you Optimize learning in STEAM Camps, with Age appropriate Hands-on Science Activities for Kids?

EXPLORERS (PreK/K)—>

Explorers shine in this stimulated environment designed to challenge their rapidly developing minds. Focus: Neuroplasticity & Core Science

INVESTIGATORS (1st-3rd)—>

Investigators are curious, so our camps develop the tools needed to experiment with a problem-solving mindset. Focus: Fearless Problem-Solving

INNOVATORS (4th-6th)—>

Innovators love that we stretch the limits of what they believe possible, so in these unique camps they learn real-life design principles: Focus: Creative Design

LEADERS (7th-10th, Selective)

Leaders are graduates of our program, chosen as junior counselors who learn how to teach creative design and support kids at KSL : Focus: Leadership Skills

Talk about igniting my child’s desire to learn, explore, and grow in STEM! You absolutely see what you are paying for each day when your child comes home full of new ideas and doesn’t stop talking about them until you put her to bed.

Collapsible FAQ
Click to understand why we are the #1 ranked summer science camp for kids
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
Kids Science Labs has been an awesome and fun learning experience for our 9 year-old daughter, who has been attending KSL for 4 years. The teachers, administrators and facility are all first rate, engaging, enthusiastic, and nurturing! Highly recommended for after school programs, Summer Camps, and school-day programs for home-schooled students.
