CAMP LEADERSHIP: Erin

Somewhere deep inside the ice arena, an elite group of recruits preparing to take on top secret missions. Each day at Secret Spy Camp is filled with top secret briefings and activities that will put spy skills and street smarts to the test.

Develop a disguise for cover, make and break codes, discover escape and evasion techniques, create and use spy gadgets, uncover the science behind spying—all of this and more awaits! 

Campers create, build and assemble a variety of projects while exploring how science affects the world around us.  This S.T.E.A.M. camp will focus on building simple machines and learning about robotics.

Campers will use the scientific method as they explore classic experiments with a messy twist! campers will participate in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) activities that will challenge every age group.
