Keystone Science School's
Day Camp Program

Our popular Day Camp program returns for its second year. This camp experience is just right for those that want to get outside, experience nature, share incredible adventures, make lots of new friends, but maybe don’t want to be away from home overnight. Each session has a unique theme and each day has a unique program focus. Every Thursday, once camp is over, is Family Night. Bring your friends and family and enjoy snacks while watching a slideshow of the week. Family Night is a great way to get involved in your child’s camp experience.

Ages: 6 to 11

Cost: $275 per week or $65 per day ($75 for adventure days). Scholarships are available for all programs.
