CAMP INNOVATION

Offsite Camps: Summer Break

5-Day Sessions | June 1 - July 24 | Locations Around Arizona

Let your imagination run wild in our series of week-long camp sessions that spark curiosity in science through hands-on interactive programs that incorporate learning through high-energy challenges, building and design. CAMP INNOVATION is sure to inspire, educate and engage your curious mind through hands-on science.

Fuel your summer with hands-on STEM adventures at CAMP INNOVATION! From digging into dinosaurs and engineering exciting designs to training like astronauts and exploring Earth’s most extreme adventures, campers will tackle real-world challenges, test creative inventions, and dive into surprising scientific discoveries. Each week brings new experiments, new skills, and new reasons to stay curious.
