FALL CAMPS
Fall Break Camp
Mission Space Adventure!
Blast off for an out-of-this-world day of fun! Campers will explore planets, stars, space travel, and the mysteries of the universe through games, activities, challenges, and creative adventures. 3… 2… 1… Liftoff!
Indigenous Peoples Day Camp
Reading the Sky
A stick in the ground can tell you the date. So can a star, if you know which one. In Reading the Sky, campers become sky watchers for a day — building shadow-tracking instruments, chasing the sunrise across the Sandias, tracking the moon's changing path, hunting the star clusters that told farmers here when to plant, and cracking the puzzle of how Ancestral Puebloan builders aimed whole buildings at the sun and moon.
WAITLIST
Electric Election Day
Come experience the exciting and explosive forces of energy! Build circuits, charge up with static electricity, and fashion your own light-up trinket. Like gizmos? This is the camp for you!
Science that Served
Explore the surprising, everyday legacy of military innovation — the technologies that began as wartime necessities and went on to reshape ordinary life. Campers will crack codes using Morse and cryptographic puzzles inspired by WWII-era cryptography, test the physics of radar and echolocation with hands-on sensing demonstrations, and investigate the materials science behind gear built to withstand extreme conditions. Along the way, students trace a throughline from battlefield problem-solving to the tools, gadgets, and even medical breakthroughs we rely on today — discovering how necessity, constraint, and urgency have always been powerful drivers of scientific discovery.
