Students ages 8-12 (Grades 3-6) learn about rocks, minerals and gemstones. Young geologists will experience mining techniques, slurry soils from simulated locations in a search for clues to gemstone formation. On finding the rough gems they will test, appraise and prepare the specimens for display at the end of the week. Parents are thrilled when they visit us at the “gem show” on the last day!

Students ages 9-14 (Grade 4-6) explore rocket flight while learning about the principles of aerospace engineering using science and math. Teams plan, assemble, prepare and launch model rockets and follow up with debriefing exercises. Behaving like NASA specialists, each student will track, recover, inspect and evaluate the rockets.
Parents and friends have an opportunity to come and watch the “rally” which takes place on the last day!
