Get ready for a summer of creativity and discovery with our Summer Camps! From launching rockets in Astronaut Camp to inventing the future in Sci-Fi Engineering, there's something for every curious mind. Kids can explore nature in Environmental Science or bring big ideas to life in our hands-on Makerspace. It's all about learning, experimenting, and having fun. Join us for an unforgettable summer of STEM!
If a camp is at capacity, join the waitlist, and we'll notify you if space becomes available!
Environmental Science Camp
Uncover the planet we live on in the CMSC’s Environmental Science Camp. Join us for a week of exciting topics, including fossil excavation and geology, native plant life, pollination and our oceans!
Makerspace Camp: The Chance to Be Creative
Attend our Makerspace Camp for the ultimate combination of science and creativity. Feel empowered to tinker, build and explore with common tools, equipment, materials and electronics to create your own functional toys!
Astronaut Training Camp
Columbia Memorial Space Center to Houston, we have lift off for our Astronaut Training Camp! Enroll to train like an astronaut, including examining film and photos taken from space and playing an active role in space missions! We’ll end our week blasting off rockets into space!
Sci-Fi Engineering Camp
We received a strange transmission from outer space! It contains the science behind some of our favorite Sci-Fi movies and shows! Beam down to an exoplanet of your creation, build your own junk droid and explore the role of an astrobiologist!

Think Tank Summer Camp
Watch your child’s creativity TAKE FLIGHT!
In this exciting hands-on camp, students will build their own radio-controlled foam flyer completely from scratch - shaping, assembling, and wiring every piece themselves. Along the way, they’ll explore core STEM concepts like physics, electronics, measurement, and aerodynamics through fun, guided experimentation. From crafting the lightweight frame to setting up the remote controls, kids will gain real-world skills in a safe, supportive environment. The program wraps up with a thrilling test flight where their friends can cheer on the young engineers as their hand-built flyers take to the sky!
Registration is online only.
