About the provider

Destination Science states its mission as inspiring kids through hands-on STEM learning and getting kids excited about science while building terrific life skills. Campers are grouped by age, work collaboratively and independently, and bring home the projects they make with the camp.

Family references are not accepted. LITs must commit to at least 2 weeks at camp. Extended Care is available at select locations.

“I loved that my kids had the freedom to design and change some of the activities they worked on and make it “their own way” instead of being told how to do it.” — Parent quote
