Adventure Science Center Camps

What are the ASC Fall & Winter Camps?

The Adventure Science Center offers camps during school break periods — specifically during Fall Break and Winter Break. These are STEM-focused, hands-on day camps where children get to explore science, technology, engineering, and math through experiments, creative activities, and exploration.

They are designed to be safe, memorable, educational, and fun — with teamwork, curiosity, critical thinking as key parts.

Who It’s For
