Young Scientist Camp
Rising 2-5 Grade
Hands-on learning can be the most fun for children! This week will be perfect for kids who love STEM and animals. In this science camp, kids will learn to perform simple science experiments to learn about animals and how they are cared for. Along with enjoying animal science-related crafts and activities, campers will also get to interact with some of our adoptable animals! Campers will learn about parasites, basic health checks for animals, and learn about vaccines.
Camp Highlights
-
Meet & Greet Shelter Animals: Interact with a variety of shelter animals
-
Parasite Exploration: Discover the world of parasites that affect animals and perform experiments to understand how they spread and how we can protect animals from them.
-
Vaccination Experiment: Learn about the importance of vaccines in keeping animals healthy and perform a fun, interactive experiment to see how vaccines protect animals from disease.
-
STEM-Based Animal Science Crafts: Engage in creative crafts and activities related to animal science, like building a “plaster cast” or other fun animal crafts.
Morning & Afternoon Care
Drop-off time for those without morning extended care is 8:45am or later. Extended care is available for an extra fee from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. You must register in advance for extended care.
If your child isn’t signed up for morning extended care, please plan to drop them off at 8:45 a.m. or later. A late fee of $1.00 per minute applies for late pickups (after 4:00pm without extended care or after 5:00pm with extended care.) If you think timing might be tight, we recommend signing up for extended care to make things easier for everyone!
For safety reasons, please do not drop children off early unless they’re registered for morning extended care. While staff are on-site, they won’t expect your child unless they’re signed up, and we want to be sure every camper is safely checked in.
Children Information
It is important to inform HAWS of any special needs; physical, medical, mental or emotional, that your child may have so that we can provide a successful HAWS experience. Failure to inform HAWS of any of these needs that are necessary to know when instructing your child may result in your child being unable to participate and a loss of program fees.
Payment and Registration
There will be a 30% administrative fee for all cancellations. There will be no refunds or transfers given within two weeks of the start of the program session.
