Clever Campers Start with Curious Minds!
Science camps spark lifelong friendships and inspire a passion for discovery. In informal, engaging settings, curiosity and inquisitiveness come naturally—and at SCI Camps, the magic of science takes center stage!
With hands-on activities, campers explore, experiment, and uncover the “hows” and “whys” of the world around them. Through teamwork, investigation, and creativity, SCI Campers grow into bold thinkers and problem solvers.
School’s OUT @ SCI Camps are available now!
School’s Out @ SCI Day Camps are fun, one-day adventures designed for youth in kindergarten through 3rd grade, offered on days when Des Moines Public Schools are closed—as well as during winter and spring break.
Get ready for an unforgettable season of exploration!
