H/Da Vinci Science Camps/School’s Out Science Camps

School’s Out Science Camps

When schools are closed, camp is in session at Da Vinci Science Center!  Students in grades K-5 can join us for a full day of hands-on science fun. We will explore a different topic each day so you can join us every day for a new experience. 

Camps start at $85 per person, per day.

Members save $5 per camp.

Scholarships are available for School’s Out Science Camps through our Linny Fowler STEAM Scholarship Fund.

Eggcellent Adventures
March 29, 2024

Can you safely protect an egg from a two-story dropWhat about a collision? Use the engineering design process to create solutions to egg-inspired problems on this very special day of camp. Design, invent, and think about the wider world of possibilities for your ideas. Test prototypes and see what it takes to protect an egg from impact forces. Work together to think like engineers on this fun-filled day of unusual, and possibly messy, exploration!
