The goal is to "show kids that science is all around us, it impacts us in every way," said Heather Peete, the park's science curator. Each day, campers focus on different aspects of science. Topics include engineering, natural science, hurricanes, chemistry and a science challenge day every Friday. Solar energy, ultraviolet light, animal adaptation and the mysteries of bubbles are discussed in natural science sessions. Small beads that change color when exposed to certain light beams are used to demonstrate the effects of ultraviolet light. Chemistry sessions have taught the science of tie-dye and chromatography, and science challenge days incorporate games to reinforce learning during the week...
