At Science Factory Camp, kids unleash their inner mad scientist in a glorious mix of science, art, and innovation. Campers ages 6–12 dive into hands-on projects adults would never allow at home—messy experiments, bold builds, and creative chaos that spark real learning. Each week brings a new theme—space, animals, ocean, and more—anchored by activities that blend science with art and imagination. Whether kids are mixing potions, modeling solar systems, or pulling off engineering feats, everything connects back to the week's big idea. With intentionally low screen time, kids learn through trial and error, embrace the mess, and build confidence as they create, destroy, and explore.
