Da Vinci Camp Summer Institute is a project-based day camp designed to spark curiosity and creativity through active learning. The atmosphere is collaborative and exploratory, with campers encouraged to ask questions, test ideas, and learn through hands-on experiences rather than lectures or worksheets. Each day blends structure with flexibility, giving kids space to explore while staying guided by clear goals.
The program focuses on STEM-based learning, creative design, and critical thinking. Campers work on engaging projects that introduce scientific concepts, engineering challenges, and creative problem-solving in an age-appropriate way. Activities are designed to be approachable while still challenging, helping kids build confidence as they experiment and iterate.
What sets this camp apart is its emphasis on learning by doing. Campers don’t just observe concepts—they actively apply them through building, testing, and refining their ideas. Collaboration is encouraged, allowing kids to share ideas, work in teams, and learn from one another.
This program is best suited for elementary and middle school–aged children who enjoy hands-on activities, creative challenges, and discovery-based learning. It’s a great fit for curious kids who like to explore how things work.
