Calling all young explorers, budding scientists, and creative minds! Are you ready for an epic summer adventure filled with discovery, hands-on learning, and endless fun? Then prepare to blast off with Whitaker Center’s out-of-this-world Summer Camps!

This year, we’re taking campers on a journey beyond the ordinary: Let your imagination run wild as we explore the possibilities of what it would be like to have a job in a STEAM-related field at our ‘Full STEAM Ahead’ Camp! Combine art and science skills, by exploring water cycles, seasons, and forecasting as a junior meteorologist at our ‘It’s Raining Science’ Camp.
