Water Works STEM Camp

This program, tailored for ages 6-9, focuses on nature’s most crucial resource: water. Scientists get their feet (and hands and heads!) wet while learning how water touches every aspect of our Long Island lives. Daily themes from habitats to cycles to conservation will inspire fun crafts, games, and hands-on activities to enhance each day's discoveries. Dress to get wet!

Decade Detectives! Investigation Camp
Monday, July 29-Friday, August 2, 9AM-Noon
This program, tailored for ages 6-9, encourages campers to get clued into history’s mysteries! A week-long hunt leads gumshoes through evidence exploration to solve a Phipps family whodunit.
