What families say
“My son loved the Young Scientists Camp! He's always had a love for and curiosity about science, and this camp was a sweet spot for him. The many Cool Chemistry experiments were his favorite activities. He already asked if he could attend next summer, so I already have a 2026 reminder on my calendar to look for when to register. Thank you for such an awesome program for my awesome kid!” — Parent of a 4th grader
“This was my child's second year at YSC and he was always so eager to attend each day. He learned so much in the 5th grade class and did so many cool activities (like dissection!) that he couldn’t wait to tell us about each day. He really enjoyed doing experiments and getting to know other camp participants. We hope to be back next summer!” — Parent of a 5th grader
“YSC has been such a wonderful experience for my son! He has learned so much over the past 3 summers. He gets to collaborate with other students, work hands on with STEM activities, learns many new concepts and all is based on NGSS. As an upper elementary school teacher myself, and as a parent, I know he is being prepared for the future all while meeting new friends and having a blast!” — Parent of a 4th grade camper
