Science of Fun 2019-2020 School Year Break Camps
City Schools of Decatur
Registration is open! Partial or full weeks are available.
North Decatur Presbyterian Church, 611 Medlock Road, Decatur GA 30033
All camps are ideal for boys and girls, repeat campers and first-time campers. Activities will be tailored to individual needs in flexible groups. No prior knowledge is necessary but advanced learners will also be mentally engaged through sophisticated small group discussions.
Each camp is hands-on and full of engaging activities. Many projects are brought home by the camper after they are made. Activities include STEM (science technology engineering mathematics) topics, matter investigations, chemical reactions, engineering challenges, STEAM (STEM + Art) and Tinker Labs. Sample activities are marble roller coasters, Sphero robots, Alka-rockets, slime, dry ice, UV bracelets, Diet Coke and Mentos fountains and 2L bottle rockets. We know just how to strike the right balance between work and play. Our camps feel like a Science birthday party!

Social/behavioral/learning needs
We keep an excellent staff:camper ratio of approximately 1:10. However, this camp is only appropriate for campers who can consistently work in small groups and can follow multi-step directions. This camp is NOT appropriate for situations in which a camper needs a smaller staff:camper ratio than we are realistically able to provide.

Behavior expectations
Behavior is rarely a problem as we have experienced supervisors and instructors, engaging activities, great campers and fun counselors. Any camper who endangers themselves or others, has behavior that is not conducive to the camp environment, or has difficulty following rules will be removed immediately, without additional warnings, without refund/credit/exchange/transfer of ANY fees, and will not be allowed to return to the Science of Fun. Please note: Historically, siblings have more behavior problems than any other campers. Siblings are held to the same high behavior expectations as all other campers; siblings who fight and argue will be removed under these same guidelines and will not be allowed to return to the Science of Fun.
