New! Coding Drones Camp
Take to the skies with mini drones! Housing a thrilling, hands-on aerial robotics platform, this camp is the perfect
introduction to the world of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this indoor camp, safety is a priority as students learn
to fly while exploring the real-world applications of drones. Campers go through Droneology, the online drone education
platform, master basic piloting skills, construct an obstacle course to fly through and stage a final race to showcase their
cumulative knowledge. Putting critical thinking to the test, the camp also has students brainstorm ways drones could be
used for good, and sketching out their ideas for new and innovative drones and drone uses.

New! Ocean Exploration Camp
In this incredible camp, students journey from the tropics to the poles, inspect arctic food webs, simulate coral reef
adaptations and survey everything from the great river deltas to the Mariana Trench. They collaborate to bring the
California sea otter back from the brink of extinction and track great white sharks across the open ocean, learning and
answering important sea-dwelling questions about the variety of the oceans and the differences in ecosystems. Through
action-packed activities, learners discover the physical and geological sciences that underpin all ocean life like density,
buoyancy, heat transfer, plate tectonics and the water cycle. In Ocean Exploration Camp, STEM education is your oyster!

Popular! Survivor Island
Students will find themselves stranded on an abandoned island filled with perilous obstacles--dark caves, wild animals,
cold temperatures, little food, and separation from the comforts of home. They will work collaboratively with their tribe
members to compete against other tribes in specific engineering-related projects that are aimed at trying to survive the
harsh island conditions and escape to their freedom. The tribe with the most points at the end of the week will claim the
honor of being the winners of Survivor Island!
