Ages: 6 to 12
VJAC - West Des Moines
Campers will dive into the exciting world of music and dance, learning KPop choreography, designing their own mini stages, and performing their favorite KPop-inspired hits. Along the way, they’ll explore the science of sound, create their own musical instruments and microphones, and learn about circuitry with light-up accessories. The week culminates in a fun, high-energy performance where students showcase everything they've le

June 22 - 25 from 9:00 - 11:30am
Ages: 8 to 12
VJAC - West Des Moines
In Break It and Build It Camp, junior engineers will safely take apart gadgets like computers, phones, and toys to uncover how they’re designed and their inner workings. Campers will explore foundational engineering concepts, hands-on problem-solving, and the art of upcycling. Throughout the week, students will investigate, deconstruct, and repurpose materials ending with the creation of their own unique, one-of-a-kind artwork.

June 29 - July 2 from 9:00 - 11:30am
Ages: 6 to 12
VJAC - West Des Moines
Coders will jump into the exciting world of robotics and coding through hands-on, interactive activities. They’ll program robots to tackle obstacle courses, team relay races, games, and robot battles, all while building problem-solving and teamwork skills. Campers will also design and create wiggle bots, combining coding with creativity. Kids will explore the science behind robotics while having a blast.

July 6 - 9 from 9:00 - 11:30am
Ages: 5 to 10
VJAC - West Des Moines
Get ready for a purr-fectly fun week! Animal lovers will dive into the science behind their favorite furry friends through hands-on exploration and playful learning. A visiting veterinarian will teach campers how to care for animals, learn what a veterinarian does, and how to stay safe around unfamiliar pets. Campers will discover how pets communicate, and “adopt” a stuffed animal to love throughout the week.

July 13 - 16 from 9:00 - 11:30am
Ages: 5 to 10
VJAC - West Des Moines
In this action-packed camp, your superhero will explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through hands-on experiments and creative projects themed around superheroes. Campers will use 3D printer pens to create custom badges, tackle superhero challenges testing their “super strength”, navigate robots, become environmental heroes, create secret code, and engage in art and math adventures.

July 20 - 23 from 9:00 - 11:30am
Ages: 6 to 12
City Hall - West Des Moines
Blast off on an out-of-this-world STEAM adventure where young explorers become planetary scientists and engineers! Campers will team up with a NASA Ambassador to build their own rovers and explore the challenges of space exploration. They’ll design and construct Mars habitats, launch rockets, sample space food, and more! Kids will even get the chance to program their robots to navigate the surface of Mars.

July 27 - 30 from 9:00 - 11:30am
Ages: 4 to 8
VJAC - West Des Moines
Future innovators will code, build, and explore with Ozobots, BeeBots, Code & Go Bots, and more! Campers will learn the basics of coding, how robots work, and ways they can assist in everyday life. Through playful exploration, kids will program robots to navigate mazes, play interactive games, solve problems, and complete tasks while developing sequencing and problem-solving skills. They’ll even make their own Hex-Bugs.

August 3 - 6 from 9:00 - 11:30am
Ages: 6 to 12
VJAC - West Des Moines
Get ready for a camp packed with science fun! Campers will become junior scientists as they dive into hands-on experiments like elephant toothpaste, slime chemistry, glowstick experiments, and other exciting reactions that fizz, foam, and pop! Kids will learn about chemical reactions, states of matter, and the scientific method, all while discovering how science can be messy, magical, and totally epic!
