Join us all summer long for fun and exciting projects and experiments! Camp runs Monday through Friday as either five half-day morning sessions (9:00am-12:00pm) or five half-day afternoon sessions (1:00pm-4:00pm). The cost is $135 per child per camp.

Please note:
Camps will be offered for children who are in grades K-8 (meaning they completed that grade, so our youngest campers will have just finished Kindergarten) and some camps will have age range restrictions.

Children may register for both AM and PM sessions and bring a packed lunch to eat during the supervised lunch break from 12-1pm.

Registration closes one week (Monday) prior to the start of camp.

Camps will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, so sign up as soon as you can! Payment is due at time of registration (you cannot reserve a space in the camp without payment). Scholarships are available for families in need.

Volunteer opportunities for those aged 16 and above will be available.

If you have any questions about the camps, please contact Rachel Cahill, STEM Educator at 717.509.6363 X105. Or via email at rcahill@tlsf.org

Dates, camp topics and pricing is subject to change.
