Challenge Island STEAM Camps are for rising K-5th kids who are interested in problem-solving and FUN this summer with exciting weekly themes beginning in late June.
Each daily workshop will include 3 hours of hands-on activities taught live by Michigan-based STEAM professionals. Programs are Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics-based challenges which also grow skills in cross-curricular learning, teamwork, presenting, and interacting with others.
Challenge Island is a STEAM enrichment program where smart and curious kids work together in teams to solve fun, hands-on “challenges” which teach them about STEAM fundamentals, as well as important success skills like creativity, critical thinking, problem solving and much more. The 3-hour/5-day camp programs this year will give campers a chance to grow their STEAM and teamwork skills as they take on fun challenges from the worlds of slime, pets, wizardry and dolls.
Challenge Island STEAM Camps in Metro Detroit are coming this summer to – Birmingham, Brandon, Canton, Clarkston, Fenton, Hartland, Rochester, South Lyon, and Troy.
