Captivate S.T.E.A.M. Camp Plus is a full-day summer camp program for ages 11-13 which includes all the elements of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) and daily P.E.
This middle school program challenges children with higher level scientific investigations and more sophisticated art projects, both are thoughtfully intertwined in this camp. Due to small camp sizes, middle schoolers get the chance to more easily connect with peers and make new friends, which is critical for the tween child.

2022 Themes for S.T.E.A.M. Camp Plus
Genetics and DNA
Eye color, hair color, height, disease and even personality traits are affected by the genes passed on to you from your parents. Extract DNA from a strawberry. Explore the double helix geometry and learn about chromosomes and base pairs of the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) macromolecule. Genetics is a fascinating field of science that you should know more about! The daily art projects reinforce the concepts of genes and phenotypes. All materials are included in the cost of the camp.
Chemistry C500
Chemical Reactions is a fun introductory exploration into the field of chemistry. Students will do a variety of hands-on labs and learn to recognize when a chemical change has taken place. From gas bubbles, to color change, to invisible ink and more, you won't want to miss the cool labs in this chemistry camp. Daily art projects help reinforce the chemistry concepts. All materials are included in the cost of the camp.
Structural Engineering - Bridges and Skyscrapers
This camp is perfect for the future engineer! Learn to build skyscrapers and bridges and appreciate the aesthetics and geometry of these engineering masterpieces. Explore key physics concepts such as load, force, compression and tension. Daily art projects will depict real-world examples of iconic bridges and skyscrapers. All materials are included in the cost of the camp.
Marine Biology
Ocean creatures are fascinating! Study, dissect and investigate several preserved marine specimens: the clam, squid, starfish, and dogfish shark. Create stunning artwork inspired by the marine organisms observed in the lab. All materials are included in the cost of the camp.
