2013 Summer Camps

Summer Camps for kids

Hey kids in 1st through 8th grades!!
2013 camps run June 17 through August 16th!!

Join us all summer long for fun and exciting projects and experiments! Camp runs Monday through Friday as either five half-day morning sessions (9:00am-12:00pm) or five half-day afternoon sessions (1:00pm-4:00pm). The cost is $125 per child per camp.

Please note:

  • Camps will be offered for children who are in grades 1-8 (meaning they completed that grade, so our youngest campers will have just finished 1st grade) and some camps will have age range restrictions.
  • Children may register for both AM and PM sessions and bring a packed lunch to eat during the supervised lunch break from 12-1pm.
  • Some camps are returning from last year (for instance rockets, structural engineering, mystery-solving, girls-only, messy chemistry experiments, and more) as well as new STEM topics!
  • Camps will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, so sign up as soon as you can! Payment is due at time of registration (you cannot reserve a space in the camp without payment). Scholarships will be available for families in need (information coming in April).
  • Volunteer opportunities for those aged 16 and above will be available.
  • If you have any questions about the camps, please contact Lauren Schaller, Education Coordinator at 717.509.6363 X105. Or via email at lschaller@tlsf.org
  • Dates, camp topics and pricing is subject to change.
