Science camps for all ages!

Summer Science and More Camps
Pre K - 10th Grade

Hope College offers exciting opportunities for children grades Pre K - 10th (Fall '13) to explore the wonderful world of science and more. The programs feature hands-on investigations designed to teach concepts in a FUN yet challenging way.

Among the 34 different sessions are opportunities to learn the science behind the adventures of Phineas and Ferb, examine the world of animals, uncover the inquisitive life of a crime scene investigator, and explore and create 2D and 3D art.

Update April 26, 2013:  With a sense of deep loss we report that Tod Gugino, the founder of the science camp program, died on April 20.  Tod had eagerly looked forward to another camp season and in his optimistic manner had already planned the program and brought on board a team of enthusiastic, experienced student instructors.  To honor Tod's memory and his love for giving young students a chance to learn and explore, the camp program will be offered under the cooperative guidance of Brenda Gugino, who worked with Tod to administer the program for many years, and Mike Seymour, a faculty member of the Hope Chemistry Department.  During this time of transition any inquiries can be left at the contact information below.  We will get back to you as soon as possible.
