CAMP INNOVATION Set to Teach Vet Science on Veterans’ Day

Arizona Science Center’s Pop-Up Kids Camp Will Give Insight Into the Science Behind Tending to Animals

 

PHOENIX – CAMP INNOVATION at Arizona Science Center will host a pop-up day camp on Veteran’s Day to give students an outlet to get creative, have fun and get insight into the science behind animal care.

In recognition of Veterans’ Day, we will be offering a special one-day CAMP INNOVATION. Campers will take part in hands-on, skill-building activities that encourage curiosity, teamwork, and confidence. Throughout the day, students will practice problem-solving, learn how to follow step-by-step procedures, and explore the science behind everyday objects and environments. This camp provides a fun and engaging place for students to learn and grow while school is out. 

Additional single-day CAMP INNOVATION sessions for 2026 will be offered on MLK Jr. Day (Jan 19), President’s Day (Feb 16), and during April Break (Apr 3).
