Kids Steam Summer Camps

Challenge Island is an award-winning STEAM enrichment program where smart and curious kids work together in “STEAM Teams” to solve fun, hands-on “challenges” which teach them about STEAM fundamentals and crosscurricular topics, plus important success skills like creativity, critical thinking, problem solving and much more. Each of our summercamps focus on a positive atmosphere packed with activities and learning, with the goal of encouraging children to be more confident and excited about their skills in STEAM and working together.

Pet Palooza STEAM Camp

Wag on over to the most PAWSOME camp in town!

You and your STEAM Team will engineer a world created just for pets, from Pet Palooza Hotel Day to Having a Ball Day to Give a Dog a Bone Day to Salty Sea Dog Day to a very special Rescue Pets Day. You’ll even get to adopt adorable pretend pets of your own and create habitats to match their needs and personalities! This STEAMtastic camp gets two paws up and is a must for every pet-loving kid!

Students should bring a snack and water bottle each day, as we will take snack and play breaks when possible.

For students who sign up for both camps, they will be welcome to bring a sack lunch and stay to eat with our instructors from 12-1pm each day at no extra charge.
