Wonders of Water summer camp offers a hands-on, immersive experience for younger kids (age 5-7) to explore properties of water, like surface tension and density, water quality, and aquatic ecosystems through STEAM activities. Each day will include 2 STEAM activities, story time, games and some free play. Children must have a packed lunch, afternoon snack, and water bottle. Please wear play clothes – We will be doing activities that may be messy!
