The camp offers a high-tech, cutting-edge educational STEM program in a museum setting, combining hands-on scientific exploration with daily museum access and outdoor activities.
The Liberty Science Center's "Athletes in Motion" camp for middle schoolers (grades 6-8) delves into the scientific principles behind human movement and athletic performance. Campers explore how the physics of motion, the systems of human biology, and the complex actions of the brain and nervous system collaborate to enable athletes to perform. Through hands-on activities and experiments, participants gain an understanding of biomechanics, physiology, and neuroscience as they relate to sports. The program aims to foster an appreciation for STEM concepts by connecting them to real-world athletic applications, encouraging innovative thinking and problem-solving skills. Campers will engage in structured museum exploration daily and participate in outdoor activities and games. A weekly science fair provides an opportunity for campers to present their projects and share their newfound knowledge with family and friends.
A typical day runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, including morning and afternoon sessions with hands-on activities, lunch and recess, a snack break, and structured museum exploration.
This camp is best for middle school students with a keen interest in science, technology, engineering, and math who want to explore the scientific principles behind sports and human movement.
