New STEAM Day Camp Launches This Summer
New camp targets students age 7-10 with an interest in STEAM
[HACKENSACK, June 1]— The Greater Bergen County YMCA is pleased to start a new STEAM Day Camp for local families with children curious and interested in exploring the world around us. The camp is open to all children ages 7 through 10.
Each week we will concoct and construct hands-on experiments and STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math) projects that delight a child’s sense of wonder. We foster community, promote personal growth and stimulate summer learning with discussions, outdoor play, art projects, gardening, swimming and more! Swim instruction is two days a week at the Greater Bergen County YMCA. Daily outdoor activities and field trips each session will help campers become more aware of STEAM projects right here in New Jersey.
Weekly themes are always centered around STEAM. We like to keep our campers bodies and minds healthy and active while enjoying nature hikes, collecting specimens and participating in sculpture and molding projects. STEAM companies will also participate in our camp helping to showcase what careers look like in the STEAM fields.
