About
Camp Naper Summer Day Camps offers themed sessions where campers take part in adventures in history, art, science, and more, including time-travel adventures, thrilling games, and creating historical crafts. Depending on the session, campers may do hands-on experiments, tackle mysterious science challenges, unravel scientific secrets, investigate the “infected,” test soils, engineer defenses, explore diverse ecosystems, encounter fascinating creatures, and engage in hands-on outdoor fun. Other sessions focus on designing, coding, and conquering challenges with robots; stitching and sewing their own creations; investigating the riches of nature and renewable resources; exploring marine science through hands-on activities and engineering challenges; learning survival techniques; and diving into history, art, and nature.
