Boom! Shake! Spew!

Natural disasters occur all over the world. Investigate how wind, heat, moisture, raging storms and the Earth's inner fire have transformed the planet and life on it. Create your own natural disaster, such as a volcano, earthquake, or tidal wave or see if you can design a building that can withstand nature's fury. Daily outdoor/indoor play. Campers provide own lunch, snacks and beverage.

Is it True?

Have fun brainstorming and de-bunking common and not so common science myths - is there really no gravity in outer space, can you navigate the woods using a sewing needle?  Spot hypotheses, develop procedures, look at data and determine conclusions based on the information you find.  Explore a different myth each day. Daily outdoor/indoor play. Campers provide own lunch, snacks and beverage.

It's Not Rocket Science...Or Is It?

A trip to space requires special training, engineering, and equipment.  Investigate how astronauts prepare for a voyage into space, look at a typical day, and build different kinds of rockets using air, baking soda and vinegar, and other household products. Consider what "space rations" astronauts eat and maybe sample a taste! Daily outdoor/indoor play. Campers provide own lunch, snacks and beverage.

Forensics: Under the Lens
