Note: Morning and afternoon camps can be combined to create a full-day experience. If your child is registered for both a morning and afternoon camp at the same location, Science Discovery staff will provide lunchtime supervision.

Throughout this magical week, we'll combine the magic of physics, chemistry, and mathematics to learn about the natural world. We'll learn and practice a variety of exciting tricks, all based in science. We'll explore optical illusions, turn water into juice, and magically change a flower's color. We'll crush a can without touching it, make gummy bears grow, and try to move objects without touching them. Once we learn these tricks, we can turn everyday objects into props for our magic show and use what we've learned to amaze and astonish our friends and family.ÌýDuring the last hour of camp on Friday, we'll perform our magic show featuring some of our favorite Science Magic tricks for family members able to join us!
