STEM Summer Day 'Camp - Wildwood Enrichment Academy

STEM Summer Day Camp: June 11, 2025: Blast Off Rocket Lab: 9AM-11AM

Strap in—it’s time to blast off! In this action-packed summer STEM class, we’re exploring the science of flight with a trio of hands-on rocket builds: stomp rockets, straw rockets, and balloon rockets!<br><br>Kids will design, build, and test their own creations using air pressure, propulsion, and just a little bit of chaos (the fun kind). We’ll experiment with what makes rockets fly higher, faster, and straighter—then head outside to launch, tweak, and launch again!<br><br>It’s part engineering, part experimentation, and 100% awesome. Expect plenty of whooshes, giggles, and skyward streaks.<br><br>Recommended for ages 8+

STEM Summer Day Camp: June 18, 2025: Bubble Lab: 9AM-11AM

Get ready to mix, dip, swirl, and POP—because this summer STEM class is all about bubbles in all their fizzy, floaty glory!<br><br>Kids will kick things off by making their very own bubble wands—from classic loops to wild, wiggly shapes—then dive into the science behind what makes a bubble really good. We'll mix up and test different bubble recipes to see which ones make the biggest, longest-lasting, or even unpoppable bubbles (yes, that’s a thing!).<br><br>We'll head outside to create GIANT bubbles that shimmer in the sun, then take things back inside to paint with bubbles—because science and art go together like soap and water. <br><br>It's sticky, silly, hands-on fun that just might float away if you’re not looking!<br><br>Recommended for ages 6+

STEM Summer Day Camp: June 25, 2025: Secret Code Lab: 9AM-11AM

Calling all curious minds and undercover agents—it’s time to crack the code! In this summer STEM adventure, kids will dive into the world of secret messages, learning real-life spy skills like Morse code, classic ciphers, and how to create a top-secret code of their own.<br><br>They’ll even learn to make their very own disappearing ink (yes—it really works!), perfect for sending messages that vanish right before your eyes.<br><br>Once their spy training is complete, it's mission time: a top-secret scavenger hunt where every clue is hidden in a different kind of code. They'll decode, hunt, and solve their way to the final prize—no spy left behind!<br><br>It’s brains + adventure + a whole lot of mystery.<br><br>Sneaky. Smart. Seriously fun.<br><br>Recommended for ages 10+

STEM Summer Day Camp: July 2, 2025: Bow and Arrow Lab: 9AM-11AM

Step aside, Robin Hood—there’s a new crew of bowmakers in town! In this action-packed summer STEM class, kids will learn the science and skill behind archery as they build their very own PVC bows and craft arrows from sticks and dowels.<br><br>We’ll explore tension, force, and trajectory while shaping and stringing our bows, then test them out on the range with some good old-fashioned target shooting. Safety comes first—but fun is a very close second!<br><br>Kids will leave with a bow they built themselves, a few arrows in their quiver, and a whole lot of confidence in their aim.<br><br>STEM has never looked this epic. Ready, set… release!<br><br>Recommended for ages 8+

STEM Summer Day Camp: July 9, 2025: Mud Kitchen: 9AM-11AM

Get ready to dig in—literally! In this sensory-rich summer STEM class, kids will roll up their sleeves, get a little muddy (okay, a lot muddy), and dive into the world of mud science and mud kitchen play.<br><br>We’ll mix up different mud "recipes," explore the science of sand, soil and water, and turn our outdoor mud kitchen into the ultimate lab for messy masterpieces. Think muddy muffins, worm pies, and dirt soup—all made with a dash of imagination and a sprinkle of STEM.<br><br>Along the way, kids will learn about soil types, water absorption, and how nature makes the perfect play material. It’s hands-on, brains-on, and squish-tastically fun.<br><br>Recommended for ages 4+

STEM Summer Day Camp: July 16, 2025: Solar Oven S'mores: 9AM-11AM

Science has never been so delicious! In this tasty summer STEM class, kids will harness the power of the sun to build their very own solar ovens—then put them to the ultimate test: melting gooey, chocolatey s’mores!<br><br>We’ll learn how sunlight turns into heat, explore how insulation and reflection help things cook, and then set up our ovens to soak in those rays. While the s’mores get nice and melty, kids can make predictions, compare designs, and (of course) snack on the results.<br><br>It’s hands-on, hunger-powered science with a sweet reward at the end.<br><br>STEM + sunshine + s’mores = the ultimate summer equation!<br><br>Recommended for ages 8+

STEM Summer Day Camp: July 23, 2025: Giant Slingshot Build: 9AM-11AM

Ready to launch into some serious summer fun? In this high-energy STEM class, kids will team up to build a giant slingshot—we’re talking taller-than-you, stretch-it-far, launch-it-fast kind of giant. <br><br>And the best part? They’ll get to use real power tools (with close supervision, of course!) to help bring their creation to life. Drills, clamps, saws—this is hands-on building at its most exciting.<br><br>They’ll learn about tension, force, angles, and just the right amount of stretch as they engineer their slingshot masterpiece. Once it’s built and battle-tested, we’ll head to the park for the main event: target practice and launch time! Will they hit the bullseye? Will their projectile soar the farthest? Only one way to find out!<br><br>It’s teamwork, problem-solving, and physics wrapped up in one giant, flinging, flying adventure.<br><br>Recommended for ages 10+
