MOXI Camp

MOXI Camps offers hands-on activities that include coding, working with robots, innovative problem solving, and collaboration with their crewmates. Campers take part in projects where they launch projectiles, blow whistles, make stop-animation movies, make their own paper, and fold, paste, cut, and print. They also build cars to race, design paper airplanes, float handmade boats, and spend time mixing, measuring, and mess-making in laboratory and studio settings with colorful and messy mixtures, paint splatters, tons of bubbles, giant bubbles, special slimes, and carefully monitored explosions.

Each MOXI session includes 18 campers, and campers are given a camp t-shirt upon arrival and are asked to wear it for the duration of camp. Campers are escorted off-site for lunch by volunteers and CPR-certified Camp Counselors equipped with emergency contact information, a first aid kit, radios, and extra supplies, and lunch takes place at local parks and at the beach near the Santa Barbara Wharf.
