🔬✨ The Science Squad Camp (Hoboken Charter School) ✨🔬

Get ready for five days of serious fun! This is a dynamic, hands-on camp where curiosity leads the way. We’ll be mixing science and creativity, exploring the magic of how things work through hands-on activities, exciting experiments, cool DIY projects, and even a little bit of fun Hip Hop and food science. We also feature Differentiated Activities for our campers, ensuring that activities are tailored to be age-appropriate and challenging for both our younger (Ages 4-6 years) and older (Ages 7+ years) explorers.

🌿Pulp Perfection Challenge!🌿

Topic: How is Paper Made?

Activity: Recycle Your Own Paper

Dive into the amazing journey of how a simple tree becomes the paper we use every day. Campers will get their hands wet (and pulpy!) as they learn the science of fibers and binding, then mash, mix, and press recycled materials to create their very own colorful, custom sheets of paper to take home.

💥Press Print & Pop!💥

Topic: How is Printing Done?

Activity: Hands-On Printing Activities

Explorers will uncover the principles behind transferring images and text. We'll experiment with various low-tech methods, including stamping, block printing, and simple screen printing, to design and create unique t-shirts, tote bags, or posters to express their individual style.

🔬Circuit City Adventures🔬

Topic: How Do Circuits Work?

Activity: Explore LEDs and Make Your Own LED Project

Circuit City Day is all about understanding the invisible power grid that runs our world. We’ll explore basic electricity and learn how conductors and insulators work. Campers will then get hands-on with simple circuits, culminating in building a fun, light-up LED project (like a blinking badge or a light-up greeting card) to brighten their day.

🦸‍♂️ The Innovation Incubator🦸‍♂️

Topic: Innovators Day: Let’s Think, Rethink, and Create

Activity: Design and Create Our Own Products/Solutions

Put on your inventor hats as we embrace the spirit of engineering design. Campers will be challenged to identify a simple problem in their daily lives and use the "think, rethink, create" process to develop a solution. This highly collaborative day involves prototyping, testing, and presenting their unique invention (which could be a fun gadget, a game, or a useful product) to their fellow explorers.

🍪From Milk to Magic!🍪

Topic: How to Turn Milk into Cheese

Activity: Fun with Food Day

Campers will turn into culinary chemists to discover the incredible transformation that happens when milk meets acid and heat. We will make real, edible, simple fresh cheese (like ricotta or paneer) and explore the chemistry of fats and proteins, followed by a fun baking/decorating activity to celebrate our week of exploration!
