Kids can discover the science of nature this summer at Irvine camps. Learning about how the world works using scientific tools can help children develop the ability to ask insightful questions, collect information, organize and test ideas, and solve problems. Science offers a powerful opportunity for campers to build confidence, grow in their communication skills, and make sense of the world around us as it continues to be shaped by science and technology.
