Science Camps of America

Science Camps of America offers summer programs on the Big Island of Hawaii for young people interested in all things science with a love of the great outdoors.

The overnight summer camps are aimed at teenagers ages 13 – 17, split into Land & Sea and Air & Space. Land & Sea allows campers to learn interactively about the islands' marine science, geology, oceanography, and biology. There are opportunities to delve into caverns, trek through a volcano, and swim off the coast of a black sand beach.

Air & Space camp focuses more on our planet's climate, with engaging activities that revolve around our skies and beyond. It's a fascinating option for anyone interested in learning about space, astronomy, and the atmosphere that hovers over us. Both options allow kids to explore the outdoors and participate in fun adventures.

The typical day has participants wake up at 7 am, shortly after sunrise, and take on the day's activities before returning to bed at 10 pm. Local day camps are also offered to children in grades 6-8, with similar camp activities. STEM workshops for grades 4 to 12 take place during the school year.
