Looking for engaging enrichment for your child during Summer Break? We’ve been in the lab designing some exciting new hands-on opportunities to challenge the most curious brains. Camps generally run in week-long (Monday-Friday) sessions beginning the week of May 24th, and conclude the week of August 2nd. Camps and events range in age from preschool through 10th grade and cover a wide variety of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) topics.
There are scholarship opportunities to help families register for summer camps. Please visit the Youth Scholarship Program page for more information.
We have an early drop-off option from 7:30 am - 8:30 am for all campers. For $25 per week for members and $30 per week for non-members, our EUREKA! staff will provide an extra hour of child care.
Please note: Field trips and guest presentations for day camps are subject to change due to COVID-19 protocols. We thank you in advance for your flexibility.
We plan to partner with Lunch Lizard to provide all EUREKA! based students with a free lunch, however there are select weeks that this option may not be available. More information will be emailed to registered participants.
EUREKA! will be requiring immunization records for all student campers. Registration will not process without uploaded records to each student's account. Please follow these steps to upload the documents.
Summer Pre-K camps will be half days, from 8:30AM-11:30AM, and will take place in a EUREKA! classroom. All campers will need to bring a water bottle and a snack.
