fairy tale jr. stem camp

Jr. STEM Summer Camp is designed especially for toddlers. This gentle, hands-on camp introduces children to early STEM through fairytales, building, sensory exploration, music, movement, outdoor play, and pretend play.

Each week, campers will explore a familiar story while building, sorting, testing, creating, moving, and discovering in age-appropriate ways.

Open enrollment is now available for Jr. STEM Summer Camp. Space is limited due to small-group toddler ratios.

Families may enroll for the full 6-week camp or select a minimum of 2 weeks.

Toddlers will explore safe, hands-on sensory bins connected to each weekly story. Activities may include cotton clouds, bean “seeds,” soft bricks, water, scoops, textured materials, and story-themed sensory play.

Campers will move their bodies through simple poses inspired by each story. This helps the camp feel calm, structured, and toddler-friendly while supporting movement and body awareness.

A summer favorite! Campers will enjoy age-appropriate water play connected to the weekly theme, including pouring, scooping, splashing, floating, and sinking.

Campers will explore bubbles through blowing, popping, chasing, and observing. This is a fun and simple way for toddlers to experience early science.

Campers are invited to dress up in fairytale-inspired outfits. This makes the week fun, imaginative, and photo-friendly for families.

Inspired by The Three Little Pigs, campers will use toddler-safe materials to build houses, towers, and structures. This connects to STEM Prep’s hands-on building and engineering focus.

Inspired by Jack and the Beanstalk, campers will plant seeds or flowers, water them, observe growth, and take home their own plant project.

Campers may bring a favorite stuffed animal for a cozy storytime picnic. This adds comfort, pretend play, and a sweet toddler-friendly camp tradition.

Campers will use scarves, rhythm sticks, bells, marching, dancing, and movement games to explore fast and slow, loud and soft, up and down, and stop and go.

At the end of camp, families will be invited to celebrate with photos, toddler creations, songs and certificates.

Movement, paths, bridges, water, and sink or float
Campers will help the Gingerbread Man travel safely across pretend rivers, build simple bridges, explore water play, and test what floats and sinks.

Building, materials, and strong structures
Campers will explore straw, sticks, blocks, and soft bricks as they build houses and test which materials help a house stay strong.

Size, sorting, counting, temperature, and “just right” comparisons
Campers will sort big, medium, and small items, compare soft and hard textures, explore pretend porridge play, and build bear-sized structures.

Plants, growing, height, and observation
Campers will plant seeds, explore soil, water plants, build tall beanstalk towers, and observe how living things grow.

Paths, maps, forest animals, and safe travel
Campers will explore simple maps, create forest paths, move like woodland animals, and practice safe ways to travel from one place to another.

Towers, height, balance, and design
Campers will build tall towers, explore balance, create pretend pulleys or baskets, and celebrate their fairytale STEM learning with families.

Healthy fruit and snacks are provided. Families must pack lunch for full-day campers.

Flexible payment plans are available. Before and after care are billed weekly once camp begins. ELRC/CCIS accepted.
