Camp Descriptions:

  • Alphabet Soup (Rising 1st and 2nd Graders): From Air pressure TO Zeppelins, the alphabet is our guide for experiments. Can you put your finger through a bubble without popping it? Can you splash water with only sound energy?  YOU CAN AT CAMP! Catapults, dinosaurs, forces, life cycles, rockets, worms and MUCH more!  Learn storm safety and create F5 tornadoes with your own hands!  Fun from life, physical and earth science keep small hands busy all week long!
  • Kool and Krazy (Rising 3rd and 4th Graders):Roll up your sleeves and get ready to mix, build, brew and goo all kinds of crazy concoctions & contraptions.  Explore electrical engineering with a variety of circuits as we make batteries and build your own electromagnet.  Cure your chemical curiosity with color-changing and luminescent (glowing) reactions.  Use Legos to better understand chemistry, gravity and friction.  Learn about mechanics and robotics by assembling and programming with Lego WeDo TM kits.  Stay ‘KOOL’ launching water rockets and making fake snow!
  • Science Over the Edge (Rising 5th and 6th Graders): Test the limits of how much fun you can have in one week!  Energy Independence is the topic of Summer 2013.  Investigate the potential of solar, wind and electrical power and learn how they work.  Discover how fast you can see while making your own stop motion clay cartoon.  Grow your understanding of agriculture and food while designing your own vegetable garden!  Learn about chemical kinetics and reaction rates while you make a chemical reaction speed up or slow down.  Gape in amazement as you make silver appear out of clear liquid!  End the week with learning how to find your way home with stars alone.  
  • E3 - Explore, Experiment, Engineer (Rising 1st Graders through Rising 6th Graders): HTHT’s STEM CAMP! Campers will explore Science, Engineering and Mathematics through hands on activities and integrated Technology.  Do frogs have lungs? Do earthworms have hearts? What do owls eat? Campers will answer these questions and more as they explore habitats and food chains as well as complete age appropriate dissections!  Is it possible to build an unsinkable boat? What materials would you use? Each day campers will have a chance to build, test, and revise their constructions and participate in a little friendly competition too! Become a MANCALA MASTER …. A DYNAMO of DOMINOES … a CHAMPION OF CHECKERS AND CHESS as campers put our tried and true problem solving strategies to work! Our proven ‘best practices’ activities offer measurable results that we’ll be proud to share at the end of our week.
