The camp offers a high-tech, cutting-edge educational experience within the engaging environment of the Liberty Science Center, combining rigorous STEM learning with fun, hands-on exploration and daily museum access.
The Liberty Science Center Science Camp: Athletes in Motion program for middle schoolers (grades 6-8) delves into the scientific principles behind athletic performance. Campers explore the physics of motion, the intricacies of human biology, and the functions of the brain and nervous system as they relate to sports. Activities include analyzing movements in various sports and investigating the adaptations of animal athletes to understand incredible feats like lizards running on water or the strength of an ant. The camp emphasizes hands-on learning, encouraging collaboration, communication, and creative thinking. Campers will gain an understanding of how multiple forces and body functions work together to enable athletic prowess.
A typical day includes morning and afternoon STEM-focused sessions with hands-on activities, structured museum exploration, and outdoor recreational activities, with a break for lunch and recess.
This camp is ideal for middle schoolers (grades 6-8) who are curious about the science behind sports, human movement, and animal athleticism, and enjoy hands-on STEM activities.
