Saturday Camp Fun!
Our Winter Session of Spring Saturday Camp was a slam dunk! 🏀❄️ Campers bonded over a series of basketball clinics, honing their skills while building teamwork and confidence. Beyond the court, we played games together, explored creativity, and took trips to local museums for hands-on learning. A season of fun, friendship, and new experiences!
| Cooking with STEAM, February Vacation Camp!
| February's Vacation Camp, STEAM in the Kitchen and Beyond, was a hit! From uncovering the science behind ingredients like baking soda, to testing recipe variations in our cookie experiment, to learning about yeast and making pretzels, every day was packed with hands-on fun! We explored the magic of food chemistry, experimented with scientific concepts, and learned about food access and sustainability. | | Hilary Wodlinger is our Featured Friend of CCA! | | |
