Have you ever wondered how a gecko can climb up smooth window glass?  They are using nanotechnology!   Nano is the studying and making of very tiny things. In this camp session campers will learn what "nano" means by measuring and exploring size.  A gecko uses nano-sized hairs on its toe pads to help it stick to the smooth window pane.  Campers will experiment with self-assembly, polymers, and feats of engineering in hands-on individual and group nano projects.  This camp session will also explore real and current nanotechnology uses in medicine, tech, and engineering.

Come solve a mystery with your fellow campers with science experiments, engineering puzzles, and fun games!  Each day campers will complete various activities collaboratively to collect clues.  The clues will lead the camper detectives through a mystery story which finally is resolved at the end of camp.  This camp session is perfect for collaborators and adventure seekers alike!

Transport yourself to the rainforest canopy, where you might see a monkey or a toucan high up in the trees.  On the dark rainforest floor, keep an eye out for a jaguar lurking in the shadows!  During this two week session we will learn everything we can about the rainforest ecosystem, the organisms that live there, and its importance as the "lungs of the planet".  Campers will enjoy rainforest themed physical games and activities, and will create a large scale model of a rainforest during their time at camp.
