Drones and coding are only the beginning for the summer camps catalog. Have students explore the wonders of education with the STEM activity packs. TONS of activities that are TONS of fun! Or, try out the STEAM Builder Bin with the students who want more creative freedom on their adventure.
Get kids up and “atom” too with the hands-on iSprowt kits. They’ll be able to grow their science skills in no time with easy-to-follow instructions and bubbly project fun. Then, to wrap up the fun, have students design, make, break, and repeat using the 3Doodler, a tool allowing tactile learning where they can bring their ideas to life in 3-D!
“Last summer, I recommended that our middle school summer school students build toothpick bridges. The feedback I received said it went very well!” – Chad Majeske, Grades 7-8 STEM teacher, Muskegon, MI
Try Bringing Literacy to Life!
Use the Read-Aloud STEM kits curated by Carly and Adam to ignite a spark of curiosity in young minds. Their innovative approach seamlessly merges storytelling and engineering, captivating students through hands-on activities that push past the boundaries of conventional learning. Using engaging narratives and interactive projects, these kits foster a deep understanding of complex concepts while nurturing essential skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving.

We Suggest Taking Summer Fun to the Skies!
Rockets, parachutes, and kites, oh my! Bringing the thrill of flight to your summer camp is sure to create powerful learning opportunities. Students can create their own unique KaZoon Kites or hot-air balloons to give their learning a lift. Of course, our favorite product is sure to be the Straw Rocket Launcher! Students can take their first steps in out-of-this-world learning while assembling rockets to launch.
“I have used R2K rockets, hot-air balloons, and MagLev tracks! All three of these were used as part of a rocketry week. The rockets and balloons were built and launched, exploring their similarities and differences, while the MagLev tracks were used on rainy days to keep the students building when we couldn’t go outside.” – Anthony Grisillo, teacher librarian and AV coordinator, Media, PA
A Summer of Solar Power!
It wouldn’t be a sunny summer of fun if students didn’t work with solar power! Help students to power up the future using our array of renewable energy products to get the green wheels turning! From wind power to solar ovens, there is an endless source of inspiration for these products.
