Science Matters Summer Camp Offerings at Polaris
Slimeology: Calling all slimeologists! Prepare to get elbow deep in gooey fun as we enter the world of polymer chemistry and make different slime creations each week. You’ll make amazing color changing slime, textured slime with growing orbs, and chalkboard slime that you can draw on! For ages 5-10
Science Adventures: Join us as we transform our 2024-25 after-school club topics into an unforgettable week-long camp adventure! Uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt, build your own weather station to explore the wild world of meteorology, and get elbow deep in the science of slime. Plus, you’ll whip up delicious homemade ice cream, investigate the fascinating realm of sound, and experiment with chemistry mixtures that fizz and pop. Each day is packed with fun and discovery! For ages 5-10
Take a Dive: Dive into the world of marine biology and oceanography! In our half day camp, you’ll dissect a real shark, participate in a fisherman’s challenge, examine the anatomy of a fish and learn the ancient technique of gyotaku or “fish rubbing”, learn to survive at sea by making your own solar still, get creative as you build a kelp forest and design your own submarine. Stay for the full day camp and come face-to-face with some unique sea creatures! You’ll complete a squid dissection, bring to life genuine Triassic Triops, engage in a fascinating whale adaptation lab, and discover the many weird wonders that live under the sea.

Wizarding Wonders of Science: Is it science or magic? You’ll find out! In our half-day camp you’ll create erupting foam monsters, conduct amazing air pressure experiments, dig for hidden treasures, unravel the mysteries of illusions and build your own spectroscopes to explore the vibrant spectrum of light. Stay for the full day and prepare for more captivating discoveries as we investigate creepy creatures, learn clever troll tricks, capture a rainbow in a bottle, make instant snow, mix up glowing slime and conduct lab tests on mystery substances. For ages 5-10
STEM Sampler: Experience a sampling of different science themes each week! Become an inventor and build your own circuit to send messages in Morse Code, become a geologist and go gemstone mining, and become a chemist as you create oozy glowing slime and other crazy chemistry concoctions! For ages 5-10
Magical Mixtures: Join us as we explore the science behind the magic! Reveal a rainbow of colors during our acid and base investigation, mix up an exothermic reaction to create a “matter monster”, conduct experiments on mystery powders, and uncover the secrets behind disappearing crystals and magic sand.
