2025 Summer Camps and Classes
Summers at Camps for Curious Minds are always abuzz with energy — after all, engineering underwater machines, conducting chemistry experiments, and scheming up new inventions require hard work. But even more important, the curiosity at the core of every experiment and activity requires campers to ask a simple question: what’s next? Experiences like these fuel a camper’s enthusiasm to learn more about their passions and the world around them. PacSci offers camps for grades PreK-8.
Camps for Curious Minds are happening at five different locations across Puget Sound: On the Pacific Science Center campus, Explorer West Middle School, Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center, St. Thomas School, Salish Sea Elementary.
New camps like Acutely Curious, Byte-Sized, and Froggy's Grand Adventure spark curiosity, with sensory-friendly and girls-focused sessions available at every location.
Campers in grades 6-8 can look forward to fun and challenging camps curriculum exploring valuable skills and possible future careers like computer science, robotics, engineering, and more. Don’t miss PacSci’s newest 6-8 camp, Expedition Artemis, where campers explore all the Moon has to offer as we enter the next generation of space travel.
Plenty of longtime camp favorites in every age range are back for Summer 2025. Little Lab, Rockasaurus, Under the Sea, Cookie Caper, Grossology, and Eco-Exploration are just a few of the 82 topics available for your camper. PacSci also offers sensory-friendly camps, girls-focused camps, and camps designed for a range of mobility needs.
