At Terrific Scientific, we believe summer should be a time of discovery, adventure, and hands-on fun! Whether your child dreams of building robots, designing video games, launching rockets, or exploring the wonders of nature, we have a camp that will ignite their imagination.
From coding, LEGO robotics, Minecraft, and drones to forensic science, food chemistry, astronomy, biology, and marine science, our diverse camp themes let every child dive into something they love—or try something completely new! We bring STEM to life through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and inspire innovation.
With over 40 unique camp themes for rising Kindergarteners through 7th grade, every day is filled with creativity, exploration, and excitement. Kids can code, build with LEGO robotics, tackle Minecraft and engineering challenges, experiment with drones and 3D printing, or uncover the mysteries of the natural world through animal science, marine exploration, paleontology, biology, and astronomy. They can investigate forensic science, explore food chemistry, and take on engineering challenges that build problem-solving skills and creativity. Campers don’t just learn about STEM—they experience it through exciting projects and interactive challenges that make learning unforgettable.
