Science Summer Camp The long summer school vacation need not be boring. For children interested in scientific subjects, Science Summer Camps are lots of fun and educational too. There are several well thought of companies that organise such camps, combining a healthy outdoor life, traditional camp pastimes and learning about different aspects of science. Swift Nature run camps on an Earth Science program in Wisconsin, teaching children about nature through hands on scientific experiments. Campers will participate in counting butterflies and eagles' nests and will study at the pond aquarium. There are field trips to a local fish hatchery and children will release fish into the waterways. Canoeing and backpacking trips are organized in the State Park and children will learn how the experts control a forest fire. Emagination Computer Camps are Summer Science Camps with locations near Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston. There are different kinds of camp, covering the ages from 8 to 17 years old. In addition to the Computer Camps, there are Specialty Technology Programs, including 3D Animation Film Camp and Game Design Camp. The organizers make sure the kids have plenty of leisure time too and there are opportunities to swim, throw a Frisbee, do kickballing, and play video games. The Boston camp holds soccer and basketball workshops. Each camp has an end of camp party. Club Scientific runs camps across various locations in Georgia, for the 4 to 13 age group. The 2009 season has been announced and there will be 17 different Science Summer Camps on offer, split into appropriate age groups.
