Science is in our name and it's our main game! At Cub Creek Science Camp, science is incorporated into everything we do! We encourage our campers to explore, experiment, ask questions, and try lots of new things. We engage their curiosity and give them opportunities to strengthen their problem solving skills. Campers learn by "doing" and have a whole lot of fun in the process. Our Culinary courses allow campers to understand and experience the results of chemical and physical reactions that are happening all around them.
