Captivate S.T.E.A.M. Camp Jr. is a day camp for ages 8-10 which incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics into the activities for each week. The science lab investigations and art projects are thoughtfully intertwined in this camp.

Our S.T.E.A.M. camp inspires each child with individualized attention and problem solving projects, and is kept intentionally small so that children can build relationships with each other and the staff.

2023 Themes for S.T.E.A.M. Camp Jr.

Jr. Archeologist: Ancient Egypt Unearthed

In “Jr. Archeologist”, you will go back to the days of the pharaohs to discover the wonders of the pyramids. Dig for artifacts in a simulated excavation, write in hieroglyphics, create a cartouche, and discover the scientific secrets of mummification. You will make cosmetics from minerals and perfumes from flowers using ancient Egyptian techniques. Create a Pharaoh’s headdress and collar and a Tutankhamun-inspired death mask painting, as well as other amazing Egyptian-inspired works of art. Reveal the history of the lives of famous pharaohs, like Ramses the Great and Tutankhamun, and learn about the religion and gods of Ancient Egypt practiced 3,000 years ago. What secrets will you discover? This camp is truly one of a kind with daily fine art projects, PE, outside playtime and community building.

Jr. Electrical Engineer

NEW for 2023!

In “Jr Electrical Engineer”, campers will tinker with electrical circuits and discover the wonders of conductors and insulators. Create circuits to make things light up, run motors and spin about. Discover invisible electrons whizzing around to create currents to make things happen. Easy snap-together blocks make it a breeze to investigate the relationship between electricity and magnetism. What circuits will you design? This unforgettable camp includes daily fine art projects, PE, outside playtime and community building.

Jr. Chemist- It’s Elemental! (Matter, Molecules, and the Periodic Table)

In “Jr. Chemist”, campers will delight in creating incredible chemical reactions. Through hands-on labs, campers will conduct chemical reactions that fizzle, bubble, get hot or cold, and even glow in the dark! Unlock the secrets of the amazing Periodic Table, the modern marvel of element organization based on properties. Use molecular models to build 3D representations of molecules you are familiar with. Create sticky, stretchy (and oh so messy) “ooze lab” recipes. This camp is impactful with daily fine art projects, PE, outside playtime and community building. Put on your googles and let’s go! It’s chemistry! It’s elemental!
