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.
Each camp includes access to special limited-time exhibitions and VIP experiences with visiting performers on select dates, plus the opportunity to explore our exhibits.
| Date | Holiday | Title |
|---|---|---|
| March 13 | Teacher In-Service | Mini Medical |
| April 10 | Spring Break | Crazy Contraptions |
| April 13 | Spring Break | Crazy Contraptions |
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.

What if the Da Vinci Science Center didn’t exist?
Jane and her grandkids are sure glad it does. “If the Da Vinci Science Center didn’t exist, the kids wouldn’t have these opportunities to gain greater knowledge of science. Every parent wants to give their children the opportunity to achieve at their highest levels. By experiencing science at this level, kids are more encouraged, excited, and interested in STEAM fields.”
Join Jane and her family in supporting the Da Vinci Science Center tomorrow at 8 a.m. $10 can bring science to life for one under-served student. With Facebook’s #GivingTuesday match, $10 becomes $20 and one under-served student becomes two!
