The STEM & Wellness Camp Program operates on select non-school days and during the summer, providing full-day care from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for children in grades K-8. This program incorporates live STEM experiments, STEM learning excursions, recreational activities, and wellness seminars, along with hands-on innovation projects. Mentorship opportunities, healing through art courses, and other enrichment activities further enhance the experience. Transportation plays a critical role in this program, for trips to STEM learning excursions and recreational activities, including visits to Carowinds Amusement Park, United Skates, and Galaxy Fun Park. These trips offer scholars exciting, hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom, reinforcing the programs focus on combining education and wellness.
