Storefront Science summer camps are inquiry-based, exploratory and thematic, allowing kids to "go deep" in a particular science area. Each week, we offer two topics - morning and afternoon - so kids can spend their summer doing things they are interested in. You can select as few or as many weeks as you like, and half-day or full day options!

StoSci camp is open to children from 4 to 12 years. Half day camp (9-Noon or Noon-4) is $350 per week and full day camp (9-4PM) is $600 per week. 10% discount for multiple weeks. Snacks are provided, but please pack lunch.
