In our "Mission to Mars" camp, kids will embark on a journey of creativity, coding, and exploration. Throughout the week, they’ll design and program their own digital Mars rovers, solve challenges like Mars habitat puzzles, and collaborate on space missions. Each day brings a new “mission,” from coding simulations to crafting futuristic inventions, all while learning real STEM skills. By the end, they’ll present their Mars creations, giving them a sense of accomplishment and a fun, out-of-this-world experience!

What Campers Will Do:
Each day introduces a new Mars “mission”:
🔴 Day 1: Rover Engineering
Campers design and code their own digital Mars rover using beginner-friendly coding platforms. They'll program movement, navigation, and obstacle avoidance.
🛰 Day 2: Mission Control
Learn the basics of logic, sequencing, and problem-solving while coding space-themed games and simulations.
🏠 Day 3: Build a Mars Habitat
Design a sustainable Mars base using creative building challenges and collaborative engineering tasks.
🧪 Day 4: Mars Experiments
Hands-on STEM experiments exploring gravity, atmosphere, and survival science.
🚀 Day 5: Launch & Showcase
Campers present their Mars missions, coded projects, and inventions to families during our end-of-week Mars Mission Showcase.
What Makes This Camp Special:
• Small group setting (12–16 campers max)
