Children’s School of Science

In addition, we are excited to share that this year campers will again have an opportunity to register for the Children’s School of Science morning sessions running from 8:30 am - 10:15 am daily Monday through Friday. Session A of camp will begin June 30 and will continue until July 18. Session B will run from July 21 through August 7. Children must be at least 7 years old to register for classes. Once the morning session has ended, a staff member from the Children’s School of Science will walk students who are also enrolled in the YMCA camp down to campus. Please note that the coordination between the YMCA camp and Children's School of Science classes is only for those taking the 8:30-10:15 class at CSS. Field trips with the YMCA will accommodate the late arrivals, and CSS staff can only guarantee availability to walk with the students at 10:15.

Registration will open February 17, 2025. For more information and to register your child please click here.
