Mad Science Camp
MAD SCIENCE CAMP!

Mad Science Summer Camps are entertaining and educational! Our day camps are innovative and unique and are built around various science themes such as rocketry, biology, sport science, robotics and much more. Children engage in full days of exciting hands-on experiments, fun games and amazing demonstrations. Our camps are unique in the sense that we strive to achieve a perfect balance between a child’s learning and being active in the summer time. Our approach consists of Active Learning games that get children outside and learning while reinforcing the concepts they learning in the classroom. In typical Mad Science fashion, they also make things to take home with them to encourage continued exploration of scientific concepts and discovery.
3,2,1...Blast Off!
Mad Science invites you to launch your knowledge of flight as you build your very own rockets and flying devices! This action packed week will focus on rockets, the physics of rocket flight, Newton’s Laws, and the fundamentals of aerodynamics. Experiment with different kinds of propulsion systems as you use your new knowledge to blast off, track and recover different kinds of rockets. Treat your stomach to some rocket snacks and astronaut ice cream. You’ll have a rockin’ good time at this rocket camp!

What do optical illusions, slime, solving mysteries, and taste buds have in common? Use your common senses and we will figure it out in this series of Sensational Science! Test your brain with tricky mirrors, see if you have good taste and smell with the scratch and match experiment, and begin to glow as you probe the properties of light and explore some unusual applications! Delve into aspects of detective science as you experiment with fingerprint analysis and use the Fingerprint Finder to place and identify UV prints. Be sure to use your observation skills because we will try to trick your senses through sleight of hand, misdirection, and hidden compartments.
