Water, water everywhere, and so much fun to be had! Campers will spend the day exploring the world’s largest bodies of water, the plethora of animals that call these places home, and some of the ways humans have learned to navigate these giant puddles. Campers will get an up-close look at real fossils and artifacts and get a chance to feel some of our underwater friends!
Jumpstart your Halloween celebrations with us this year in the brand-new Jack-O-Lantern Lane, which has been completely redesigned for 2019! Explore new exhibits and learn about how we can use different optical illusions to change how we perceive the world. At the end of the day, everyone will work with simple electronic parts to build their own mini light up jack-o-lantern that they can take home!
Previously scheduled Drone Zone camp
has been replaced with Try This at Home! camp.
Winter is coming! Before the cold keeps us inside for a few months, it’s time to learn some super cool science experiments for home. Campers will spend the day exploring science, technology, engineering, art, and math concepts that they can try on their own. We’ll send them home with some new skills and awesome tools to show to their family and friends.
Be sure to bundle up today - we’ll explore some of the coldest substances on Earth! We’ll start the day working with different chemicals to understand how the correct combination can make their temperature drop and investigate what happens as we use others to melt ice. Campers will experiment with dry ice and enjoy their very own special SuperCOOLness live science show!
Interested in learning more about how some of your new video games and gadgets actually work? We’ll explore some of the latest technology to help you discover how to take your skills to the next level. Whether you’re an experienced programmer or a first-time user, we’ll make sure everyone has a great day tinkering with tablets and coding computers!
Today we’ll celebrate some of the coolest animals on Earth. Our animal friends live all over our planet – many in some of the most extreme environments like the North or South poles! These animals have special adaptations that help them to live in some of the coldest places on earth. We’ll learn all about these animals and how humans can help them in the future!
Mini Ice Cream Wars returns on the last day of 2019! Culinary creativity and innovative imaginations collide for our third year at Da Vinci Science Center. We’ll spend the day measuring, mixing, and learning the fundamentals of food science all in an effort to try to make the best liquid nitrogen ice cream ever!
Bubbles galore! Campers will learn all about these trapped gases and what makes them special. We’ll experiment with making our own bubble solutions, put people in giant bubbles, and learn how to light a bubble on fire. Also, everyone will get VIP access to our limited time traveling show, BubbleOlogy!
Our furry friends are the star of the show on this exciting day all about animals. Campers will spend the day exploring the animal kingdom and learn about some of the awesome things these creatures can do. No camp about animals would be complete without a very special VIP session with our visiting sled dogs!
Get a head start on the road to becoming a doctor, nurse, or any other healthcare professional. Mini med students will explore the different systems of the body, discover ways to stay healthy, and get a one-of-a-kind experience with our synthetic cadaver, Cyndi! At the end of the day, everyone will take home their very own diploma to hang in their office one day.
Bring your imagination and come ready to have fun building! Explore electricity, master the Laws of Motion, and tinker with tools to help you complete a build challenge. Young engineers-in-training will put their problem-solving skills to the test as we design creative machines and other crazy contraptions to perform everyday tasks.
