SCIENCE CAMP
A Science Eye & ECO STEEAM+ Experience
Embedded Files
No, there isn't a mistake in spelling STEEAM! Science is a verb, not a noun to us.
Everyone must DO science, technology, engineering, environmental (conservation), art and math & more! Through various activities, children will take part in life, Earth, physical, engineering & chemical sciences. Because we also believe in cross curriculum (science is all encompassing), physical education, some history and even a splash of language arts is thrown in.

If your child enjoys nature, critters, conducting experiments, building stuff, and simply finding out how and why things work then we have an adventure for them! Science Camp provides engaging, hands-on, inquiry-based programs that enables children to explore the world around them, gain new insights and make them aware that science is an exciting part of everything they do.
Every day is filled with science exploration activities that build on current scientific principles from the life, physical and Earth/space sciences. We feel a good scientist has a well-rounded knowledge base, so don't be surprised if our activities also get involved with Archeology, Forensics, Cultural Sciences, Math, Geography and more. Each week will cover different aspects and activities for each of these science groups. Campers are immersed into the roles of scientists in the different scientific fields making observations, conducting experiments, participating in field studies, engaging in dialogue and so much more…as they would in real life.
By participating in fun, interactive-learning simulations, hands-on projects, games, nature, crafts and even edible activities, campers learn to explore the world around them. Our goal is to have fun while instilling self-confidence, develop critical thinking skills and to create a positive relationship with the environment and to gain new insights in becoming better Scientists and Environmental Stewards.
If you attend one week, or all the weeks we make sure there are always fun activities and something new to learn.
A former camper, Zac, had to write a summer science essay when he returned to school. We are so excited he shared it with us!!!:
This summer I went to a camp called “Science Eye Safari Camp”. There were a lot of cool activities, but my favorite was a game called “survivor”. The rules of the game were the campers, called “animals”, had to collect four items which stood for food, water, space, and shelter. If you found all four things, then you survived. For example, I collected a small plastic plate, which stood for shelter, and a cap with a blue marking on it, which stood for water. A red cap stood for food, and a large paper plate stood for space. The counselors were the “humans” and they would take away some of the items we collected to show what would happen if we build an airport in the Everglades. The more things the “humans” took, the more animals died. However, if we claimed an area then they were not able to take anything away.
What was scientific about the game is that it showed how we are destroying the animal’s habitat by taking things from it. The “humans” took food and the “animals” began to starve. The “humans” took water and the “animals” began to die of thirst. The “humans” took space and shelter to make buildings and houses and the “animals” died because they didn’t have a place to live. This activity taught me that plants and animals, including humans, depend on one another and their environment to get our basic needs. I was able to explore, infer, predict, and observe just like a scientist.
