Hello Friends,
Welcome to SciTech
Hands On Museum’s
Summer Adventure Camp!
Arlene S. Hawks
Executive Director
We are excited to offer
a wide range of adventures
for your children to Imagine,
Explore and Discover the
world of STEAM (science,
technology, engineering, art
and mathematics) this
summer.
Monday through
Friday each week our
Summer Adventure Camp
will ignite the imagination
of preschoolers through
incoming 8th graders from
June - July. There are
morning sessions available
from 9am-12pm and
afternoon sessions from
1pm-4pm and campers will
enjoy themes such as Storm
Chasers, Jurassic
Exploration, Aqua
Engineers, Gamers
Workshop and much more.
No child should miss
out on learning in such a fun
environment which is why
we offer many discounts
and scholarships to those
who qualify.
And remember, they
will also have access to our
more than 150 interactive
STEM exhibits which inspire
education and imagination.
Take a few minutes to
look through this catalog
and feel free to contact us at
815-324-4772 or email
camps@scitechmuseum.org
with any questions.
SciTech invites young
minds of all ages to
discover the world around
them and we can’t wait to
meet your children.
Sincerely,
Arlene S. Hawks
