COVID-19 UPDATE:  While we await official guidance from the State of NH regarding Summer Camp 2020, operations, we are able to open under the operation of 2nd Nature Academy which is a DHHS-Approved Emergency childcare facility that can now offer services to all families.  However, due to government mandates, including social distancing and reduced-group size protocols, we have had to  limit our camp offerings and maximum enrollments.

We are a STEAM indoor/outdoor camp for ages 6- 14 in Nashua, NH 
Our goal is to apply science, technology, engineering, art, and math concepts into every day fun.
Our mission is to have fun, to tinker, and to show that science, math, and art are everywhere - from the games we play, to predicting the weather, baking a cake, or simply turning on the light.  We want everyone to explore the Scientist, Tech guru, Engineer, Artist, and Mathematician in themselves.
