Camp Spark - Igniting Knowledge!

Camp Spark – Igniting Knowledge! sessions are offered when students in Leon County are on school breaks for the fall break, winter holiday, spring break, and throughout the summer. The camp program is offered to 5 year old students through the 8th grade. Daily sessions are provided over the fall, winter, and spring breaks. Over the summer, sessions run on a weekly basis. Each day or week long session will offer campers the opportunity to explore science through creative play, experimentation, and inquiry based learning experiences. The sessions present age-appropriate curriculum and are designed to provide students with engaging educational activities that are both informative and entertaining. MoLab’s camp program makes science fun and links Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) concepts to the real-world. Campers explore the art of discovery!

Camp Spark will be held in partnership with a School or Organization within Leon County. New locations will expand MoLab’s reach and will provide unique areas of exploration to engage our campers!
