School’s Out Science Camps

H/Exhibits and Programs/Da Vinci 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 in-person 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.

You and your child’s health and safety is always our first priority. In-Person Science Clubs at Da Vinci Science Center have extensive health and safety procedures and staff training in place every year. In light of COVID-19, the Da Vinci Science Center team has updated these procedures extensively, informed by current recommendations from local, state, and federal health officials, agencies and authorities, including CDC guidelines.

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

Grossology 1
Nov. 26, 2021

The world is an amazing (and gross) place. You can find the gross, bizarre, and icky everywhere – even inside our own bodies! Join us as we try out all of the best gassy, gurgly, and downright messy experiments we can come up with. Based on Sylvia Branzei’s popular children’s book series, this very sticky, super slimy, extra smelly, day of exploration is perfect for anyone who wants to learn about gross stuff.

Participation in one day of this program is not a pre-requisite for joining the other.

Science of Sweets 1

There’s more to cooking and baking than just recipes and ingredients. Join us as we use food to experiment with chemistry and states of matter, uncovering fun and exciting scientific concepts all along the way. We’ll perform some pretty sweet investigations together and even taste test some of them! You’ll be surprised by all the discoveries that await you in the world of food science.
