STEAM Camp (Rising 1st-3rd Graders)

Each STEAM specialty camp is one week long. Instructors for the STEAM Program is Snapology, trained instructors working with kids and in STEAM programming. These programs will focus on their specialty program during the week and will not visit the pool or join in the all-camp activity.

Week 1 (June 9-13): RoboPets Robotics & LEGO® Mining & Building

Robotics & Minecraft… What a fun! In the RoboPets Robotics camp, campers will begin to explore the world of robotics as they build simple animal models that teach the fundamentals of robotic design. Campers will learn about gear ratio, sensors, simple machines, and programming as they build insects, dolphins, gorillas, and much more. Your campers are sure to have a wild time as they build, learn, and play. Later in the afternoon, travel to the Nether with Snapology, but watch out for those creepers! Come join us as we bring Minecraft® to life using LEGO® bricks. Create your own world, including animals, creepers and your very own Minecraft® character. If you like Minecraft, you’ll LOVE this!

Week 2 (June 16-20): LEGO® City (Planes, Trains, Automobiles) & Awesome Adventure Robotics & Coding

In LEGO® city camp, campers will explore the world of transportation and city building structures using tons of LEGO® parts. They will build models of their favorite forms of transportation as they learn about energy, wheels and axles, air resistance, and more. They will learn about the history and modern use of these vehicles and apply this knowledge to their builds. Campers will have a fantasy adventure of a week! In addition, kids will learn about LEGO® Robotics through this fantastic and interactive Snapology class. They will have a blast building robotic vehicles, flowers, drill machines and many more and learn coding using WeDo Robotics. Kids will learn about gear ratio, sensors, programming, and pulleys, as they create fun projects using LEGO® bricks and technology. Join the fun!

Week 3 (June 23-27): Amazing LEGO® Race & Animation Studio-Movie Making

Get ready for an Amazing LEGO® Race around the world! Campers will learn about countries and cultures while never leaving Snapology. Architecture, traditions, language, and weather are some of the topics we cover in a hands-on way through LEGO® building, engineering, and creativity. Campers will explore a new country each day in an exciting trip around the globe to make this the best summer ever! Later, Campers will produce their own animated movie using LEGO® bricks and minifigures. Young filmmakers will write scripts, build sets, film scenes, edit, add dialogue, and select music and sound effects to make the perfect movie. Self-confidence is heightened as campers watch their ideas come to life when they watch the movie at the end!

Week 4 (June 30-July 3): LEGO® Spinning Science and Roblox

In the spinning science camp, let’s build battle tops with LEGO® technic bricks, build arenas to spin Ninjago spinners, construct our own fidget spinners, and even make a swing ride! So much fun in this all-new creative camp. Later in the afternoon, campers will explore their favorite RobloxTM adventures by using LEGO® bricks and creating interactive games! From designing an Obby to building a 3-D character skin, campers will be fully immersed in the gameplay and game design of RobloxTM!

Week 5 (July 7-11): Fun with LEGO® Engineering & Super Scientists

This camp will give your camper the tools they need to understand mechanical movement and the importance of simple machines using LEGO® technic bricks, motors and batteries. They will see these moving parts up-close as they follow instructions to build various machines like battle tops, spin art design, rubber band car, Go Kart and many more. They will use the models to develop new design ideas, test out physics concepts, and even play games with their partners and groupmates. This program is sure to spark their engineering interests! Along with engineering campers will cultivate a love of science and experience different domains of science and nature through this interactive, hands-on summer camp. Campers will learn about various aspects of science while participating in projects based on space, chemistry, animals, earth science! LEGO® building, slime making, and challenging activities to get kids up and moving around will be a must.

Week 6 (July 14-18): Bot Builders with Cubelets® & Science of Superpowers

Robotics using cubes… young kids will explore the basic components of robotics by playing with modular cubes known as Cubelets®! Each way your camper snaps the cubes together will create a unique robot, but what matters most is when your camper figures out the perfect robot recipe to solve a challenge. They will work in small teams to figure out how to create lighthouses, vehicles, astrobots, animals, and so much more. Is your camper ready to tinker, design, predict and play all day with Snapology! Campers will learn about the science behind their favorite heroes’ and villains’ powers as they build super cool LEGO® projects! Study STEM subjects such as gravity, forces, motion, as they learn about flight, superhero vehicles, super villain strength, and why these characters fascinate us all. Build with LEGO® bricks, learn about science, and interact with friends in this awesome hands-on summer camp is all about superheroes and all about fun!

Week 7 (July 21-25): Amusement Park Adventure Engineering & LEGO® Jedi Adventure

Go on an adventure in engineering as you learn to construct an amusement park with LEGO® technic bricks, motors, and more STEM materials. From roller coasters to go karts, pirate ship rides, and bumper cars, this is an awesome camp in building and fun! In this Star Wars®-inspired program, your younglings will explore the galaxy with their master building skills and our intergalactically-focused curriculum. Motivated to become Jedi like the heroes in the movies, campers will learn to concentrate on mastering the Force, appreciating the use of teamwork to build spaceships and AT-Walkers, and if they’re skills are up to par, make their very own lightsaber and use it in battle by using tons of LEGO®! May the force be with your young Padawan as they rise through the Jedi ranks!

Week 8 (July 28-August 1): GameBots Robotics and Wonderful Wizards

Calling all gamers and robotics fans! You’ll have a blast creating robotic games you can play in this interactive Snapology camp! Campers will take part in friendly competitions, as they make robotic goal kicker, just dance, ring toss games, go karts, etc. Get ready to compete to see if you and your robot are GameBots Masters! Later in the afternoon, kids will enter the world of wizards and knights in this Wizarding Snapology Camp, amazing wizards and royals. In this camp, campers will be inundated by magical places like Hogwarts, while they create castles, crests, and use their own imagination to create secret rooms, a coat of arms, mix their own potions, and have a fantasy adventure of a week!

Week 9 (August 4-8): Creature Creator Robotics & Pokémania

In this camp, Campers will begin to explore the world of robotics as they build simple animal models that teach the fundamentals of robotic design. Campers will learn about gear ratio, sensors, simple machines, and programming as they build insects, dolphins, gorillas, and much more. Your child is sure to have a wild time as they build, learn, and play. Campers will explore the world of Pokémon during Snapology’s Pokémania Camp! Build with Pokémon® mini-figures and create projects from the game like Pokéballs, training gyms, and even your own new generation of Pokémon. Campers will learn about real world science as they create habitats for Pokémon, they will study architecture as they build homes for characters, and they will explore creativity and socialization with each project. Campers will have a blast becoming the best Pokémon trainer ever!
