Students explored the Science of Sports during the first week of camp through Anatomy, Engineering, Photography, and Physics labs. They put their knowledge to the test by building their own mini golf at the Pro Kids: Colina Park Golf Course.
In the second week of camp, students rotated though Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and Neuroscience labs to understand the Wonders of Wildlife. An expedition to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park ended the week where students connected what they learned to the real world.
Ocean Ambassador Camp was the theme for Spring Camp 2018. Students rotated through Chemistry, Engineering, Marine Biology, and Photography to learn about the science and engineering aspects of ocean conservation. Camp included a sea urchin dissection to understand how sea creatures live. Students also discovered how they can help protect our oceans and all its living organisms with a field trip to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
