What a camp week looks like
Monday: the mission
Kids meet the challenge, meet their build partner and get their hands on the materials within the first twenty minutes.
Tuesday to Thursday: build, test, improve
Each day adds a skill and a piece of the project. Robots start moving. Games get levels. Machines get faster.
Friday: the showcase
Families come in for the last twenty minutes. Kids present what they built. Proud kid, full camera roll.
Half-day camps run three hours a day, mornings or afternoons. Full-day camps run six hours with a supervised lunch break, at select sites for ages 6 to 10. Kids are grouped by age.
Why parents trust us with their kids
- Instructors who earned the room. Licensed teachers, retired educators and educators in training. Fewer than 10% of applicants are hired. Every one is background checked and trained in child protection and mandatory reporting.
- Grouped by age. A 5-year-old and an 11-year-old each get a camp built for them, in a small group with its own instructor.
- Headcounts at every transition. Authorized adults only at pickup, checked against the roster.
- Inclusion built in. A familiar support adult is always welcome, and we confirm accommodations before camp starts.
- Built by a principal. Dr. Arielle Hammond led schools for eight years before founding Journey to STEAM.
