**What does each day look like?
Campers embark on Island themed journeys where they work in collaborative teams to tackle various exciting challenges using only the materials in their treasure chest and their boundless imaginations.
The day consists of three themed STEM projects. Kids work as engineers to understand, plan, build, test, and share. We incorporate active-play time to explore creations and outdoor time during lunch and snack times. The end of the day is for relaxed play and parent viewing to showcase our projects.
