Club SciKidz was established in 1997, and its first summer camp was called “Special Effects.” Beginning in 2001, Camp Young Scientist was created for children ages 6–8, and over time more than 50 science camp themes were added for kids ages 4–15. Since 1997, more than 60,000 children have attended Club SciKidz science day camps and school programs, and Club SciKidz Maryland has grown from 250 campers at two locations to thousands of campers at over 15 locations in one summer. Victor Bowman, founder of Club SciKidz Maryland, retired in December 2018.
The leadership team includes Victor Bowman, founder of Club SciKidz Maryland, and Bob and Sue Hagan, co-founders of Club SciKidz. Victor Bowman earned his Master’s in Education and taught science for Baltimore County Public Schools for several years, and Bob and Sue Hagan have a combined 30-plus years of teaching experience and both hold a Master’s Degree in Education.
Part of the stated mission of Club SciKidz Maryland is to nurture in children a life-long passion for inquiry and discovery and to support STEM education in the state of Maryland. The company states that it was founded on the principle that parents want to provide their children with exciting, challenging, and life-impacting academic enrichment experiences, and it is committed to demonstrating how science works in the real world through activities in veterinary medicine, robotics, forensics, video game creation, food science, paleontology, engineering, chemistry, biology, astronomy, oceanography, emergency medicine, and special effects. The organization notes that its interactive programming serves to support STEM education in Maryland and that it looks forward to working with families and communities to promote scientific and STEM literacy in the Baltimore area. After school programs are currently run through Howard County Rec & Parks.
Club SciKidz Maryland describes its over 45 different camp programs in one summer as interactive, inspiring, and fun, and notes that there are now over 50 science camp themes with projects and experiments for kids ages 4–15. It states that its science programs are designed to meet the needs of children ages 4–15, with carefully researched science lessons that engage students in observation, measurement, identification of properties, and experimentation involving life, earth, and physical science concepts. The units are described as rigorously researched by science educators with the help of teachers and children, and Club SciKidz is described as one of America’s finest summer science and technology camps.
