At Terrific Scientific, we bring science to life with our exciting STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) summer day camps. But science is just the beginning. We believe that every child is a scientist, an engineer, a game designer… the possibilities are endless! Our camps offer fun and discovery, where young minds can explore their passions, try something new and unleash their creativity. With over 40 unique camps for rising Kindergarteners through 7th grade, we offer something for every curious young mind. Our day camps aim to SPARK imagination, UNCOVER possibilities, INSPIRE future innovators and IGNITE a passion for learning.

What else makes us special?

  • Our camp counselors. They are college students and teachers with a passion for sharing their knowledge and love of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math with children.
  • Our volunteers. All are former campers who choose to continue sharing their excitement with younger children.
  • Our camp locations. Campers enjoy access to indoor and outdoor spaces allowing for a variety of activities and experiences.
  • Our hands-on, minds on activities. We create a fun environment that is rich in learning opportunities by involving campers in the creation of a multitude of experiments and engaging projects each day.
