Summer Camps

Get Dirty, Dig, and Learn!

Join Science World for amazing interactive science activities and programs. Campers will be joining Science World’s gardeners in the Science Park to take care of climate-resilient vegetable gardens and explore the importance of sustainable, local food for our plates, our planet, and our community.

Campers will engage in exciting indoor and outdoor activities; they will participate in our food donation community programs, become soil and climate scientists, learn about how gardens, chickens, and agriculture can adapt to our changing world and support a healthy future.
