Nutty Scientists Uptown Manhattan offers a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience for curious kids ages 5 to 11, right in the heart of Uptown Manhattan. This unique program brings science to life through interactive experiments, creative play, and hands-on STEM activities that are as entertaining as they are educational.

Each week introduces a fresh science theme designed to spark imagination and inspire discovery. Campers explore a wide range of STEM topics through storytelling, role-play, games, and exciting experiments that turn learning into an adventure. This summer, Nutty Scientists offers an exciting series on the Upper West Side, right across from the American Natural History Museum.

• Ooey Gooey – A sensory science favorite. Campers dive into the messy world of slime, polymers, and fizzing reactions as they explore chemistry in the most hands-on way possible.
• The Scientist in Me – This theme encourages kids to see themselves as real scientists as they investigate biology, the human body, and the scientific method through fun, guided experiments.
• Invent-O-Mania – Budding engineers and creative thinkers will love designing, testing, and building wild inventions while learning about energy, physics, and how things work.

Led by energetic, trained instructors, each day is filled with engaging experiments, creative challenges, and plenty of movement and laughter. The camp’s signature approach combines STEM learning with fun through skits, team activities, and immersive science experiences that keep kids active and curious.
