Additional hands-on options include crafting and creating with dough, exploring topics like Earth’s layers, cells, fossils, and phases of the moon, experimenting with flight and aerodynamics and a drone program, building remote-controlled hydraulic arms and energy-powered race cars, using Strawbees and Maker Kits in Makers Club, building robot models in Build a Bot, and participating in Magic, Drama, Improv, and interactive theater games in the Standing Ovation track.

• Schedule: Holiday and school-break camps offered on select single days and Monday–Friday sessions between August 2025 and May 2026

Camp Nexplore STEM Camps follows a multidisciplinary approach with specialty camps that rotate themes each session, and no two days or sessions are the same. The program uses Cubelets robotic cubes and BrickLab for coding, robotics, engineering, and STEAM education, and includes Wacky Science, Energize non-competitive physical activities, and hands-on chemistry, physics, and biology experiments. Makers Club is fully aligned with NGSS standards, uses Strawbees hands-on projects with plastic, paper, and other polymers, and students keep their Bots and other creations. Standing Ovation includes expert instructor guidance in Magic, Drama, Improv, interactive theater games, improv exercises, and hands-on magic tricks.
