Science-U Summer Camps
Each of our Science-U camps is designed to take campers through a one-week journey that investigates an area of STEM in a fascinating and meaningful way. Guided by our passionate staff, Science-U campers are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and explore how science can captivate them and make a difference in their lives. We sincerely hope every camper comes out of their Science-U experience inspired to stay curious and keep learning!
Registration for 2026 camps is February 3rd, 2026!
Our 2026 Science-U brochure will be available soon.
In the meantime, you can access the registration page HERE and create an account.
