Summer Camps
Give Your Child a Summer They'll Never Forget
Hands-on science experiments. Creative art adventures. Real skills. Lifelong memories.
Now serving Nocatee, Ponte Vedra Beach, and Palencia, with a fourth location in the Julington Plantation area coming soon.
Science Camps
Chemistry, robotics, engineering, CSI, veterinary science, cooking science, coding, and more. Every experiment is built to spark curiosity and grow real scientific thinking. Hands-on, career-inspired, and almost entirely screen-free.
Art Camps

"Four hands-on activities every single day. No filler, no downtime, no bored campers."
Every camp theme is built around doing, not watching. Science or art, the standard is the same.
Jr. Science and art camps built for curious young learners. Big experiments, creative projects, real fun.
Art camps designed to welcome a wide age range with mixed-level projects and collaborative creativity.
Advanced, career-inspired programs with serious depth. Robotics, CSI, fine art, coding, and more. Projects that matter.
