Imagination Science Camp Overview

Headfirst’s Imagination Science camps offer fun and exciting options for the budding scientist:

New for 2013! Imagination Science campers will enjoy water play daily on our giant inflatable water slide. The safe and fun 40-foot slide is a great way for campers to cool down on a hot summer day at camp. Headfirst water play is always an optional part of the day, and alternative outdoor activities will be provided for campers that do not wish to participate. Slide into summer at Imagination Science Camp!

Aerospace Adventures
Prepare for an exciting week of air and space exploration and amazing rockets! This hands-on adventure introduces campers to the physics of rocket flight and aerodynamics. Learn about fuel, space travel and aerospace vehicles. With a focus on safety, campers learn how to design, build and launch rockets, hot air balloons and air missiles. Teamwork is required as campers work together on mission control, launch preparation, take off, tracking and recovery. Aerospace Adventures is awesome! {back to top}

Locations & Schedule: Mater Dei 7/29, St. Albans & National Cathedral School 6/24 & 8/12
Grossology
What’s stinky, crusty, oozy and slimy? That’s you! Come explore how the human body works on this grossly-fun Imagination Science week. Did you know that your nose can sense smell best when you are 10 years old? That’s probably why campers notice gross smells faster than adults do! Put that nose to work while creating fun science experiments to make boogers, fake blood, burps and more! Join us for an insanely hilarious journey of all things that are NOT allowed at the dinner table! {back to top}

Locations & Schedule: Mater Dei 6/17, St. Albans & National Cathedral School 7/8
MythBusters
Are you ready to challenge popular beliefs, urban myths and the laws of physics? Campers work together to become true myth busters as they conduct fun experiments to answer all kinds of cool questions. Can water power a rocket? How do soap bubbles float? Why do curve balls curve? Can we use air to launch marshmallows? How to voices travel on a string? Don’t miss this experiment-filled, hands-on week! {back to top}

Locations & Schedule: Mater Dei 6/24, St. Albans & National Cathedral School 7/15 & 7/29
Crime Scene Detectives
Put on your detective hat and get ready to solve some tricky mysteries. Together, your team of investigators will learn the science behind crime solving and forensics, including gathering evidence, fingerprinting techniques and analysis. Discover how to use cool spy equipment and analyze the clues to solve a crime! {back to top}

Locations & Schedule: Mater Dei 7/1, St. Albans & National Cathedral School 7/22
Robot Creators
Calling all aspiring scientists and engineers! Ready to create your very own robot? Join us on a week-long, fun-filled technological adventure to learn about robots and even build one of your own. Discover how robots are used and how they impact our lives. Learn the science and basic mechanics of robotics and how robots operate. This hands-on camp includes investigations on sound sensing robots, line-tracking robots, amphibious robots and more. At the end of the week, you get to take home your own creation! {back to top}
