KA-BOOM! Hands-On Science Camps are made possible with a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and support our common goal to spark a child's interest in the magic of science. Integral to this program is the belief that science is all around us in everything we do. Creative direction encourages children to explore, discover and learn through guided hands-on experiences in an informal learning environment. For other Kauffman funded summer camp options for older children and teens, please go to www.kauffman.org.

Express Yourself! Drama Camp focuses on the art and science of drama. Through a partnership between Wonderscope and Theatre for Young America, we have created a drama camp that allows children to get a full theater experience, on stage and back stage. The week culminates in a full production on Friday with full participation of all campers. Space is limited to 36 students. Scholarships are not available for this camp.

Ker-SPLAT! Integrated Arts Camps were inspired by the work of art and early childhood educators from the Lawrence Arts Center. This unique camp experience allows children to explore and discover the arts including the visual arts, music and movement, storytelling and creative dramatics. These experiences truly integrate the arts and science! This art camp is available in a 1/2 day format and is paired with the 1/2 day KABOOM Hands-On Science Camp. A limited number of scholarships are available.
