California Science Center Summer Camp offers an immersive, hands-on science experience designed to spark curiosity and critical thinking. The atmosphere is lively, interactive, and curiosity-driven, with instructors who encourage kids to ask questions and learn through exploration. Campers don’t just hear about science—they experiment, build, and test ideas in ways that feel playful and meaningful.
The program focuses on STEM topics such as physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and space science. Activities are built around real-world concepts and challenges, helping campers understand how science applies beyond the classroom. Projects are age-appropriate and designed to feel achievable while still stretching imagination and problem-solving skills.
This camp appeals to kids who enjoy figuring out how things work, building with their hands, and exploring big ideas. Younger campers love the excitement of experiments and interactive demonstrations, while older campers enjoy deeper challenges, more complex projects, and collaborative problem-solving. No advanced science background is needed—curiosity and enthusiasm are what matter most.
What makes this camp special is access to a world-class science environment paired with hands-on learning. Campers leave with stronger confidence in STEM subjects, improved teamwork skills, and a genuine excitement for discovery that often lasts well beyond summer.

Safety is a key priority at California Science Center Summer Camp. Campers are supervised throughout the day by trained educators and camp staff who guide activities and monitor group interactions. Clear instructions are given before experiments and hands-on activities to help campers understand procedures and expectations.
All projects use age-appropriate, child-safe materials. Group sizes are managed to allow staff to provide close attention and step in quickly when assistance is needed. Structured schedules and clear transitions help maintain an organized and secure environment.
Emotional safety is also emphasized. Campers are encouraged to ask questions, test ideas, and learn from mistakes without fear of judgment. This supportive approach helps kids feel confident participating fully in activities and sharing ideas.
The activities program at California Science Center Summer Camp is built around hands-on exploration and active discovery. Campers participate in interactive projects that introduce scientific concepts through experimentation rather than lectures. Each day focuses on learning by doing, helping campers stay engaged and curious.
Instructors guide campers through experiments and challenges that encourage observation, testing, and problem-solving. Group work plays a major role, allowing kids to collaborate, share ideas, and learn from one another. Activities are structured but flexible, making space for creativity and exploration.
The program balances focused learning with excitement and variety. Campers are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, and explore multiple solutions. This approach helps science feel approachable, fun, and relevant.
