2026 Summer Camp Guide

Give your child a summer full of discovery, creativity, and hands-on fun at Mad Science of St. Louis Summer Camps! Offered at 13 convenient locations across the St. Louis area, our week-long camps are designed for curious kids ages 5–11 who love to ask questions, experiment, and explore how the world works. Campers launch rockets into the sky, investigate the mysteries of Earth and space, explore the gross (and fascinating!) side of science, or crack codes like real secret agents. Whether your child is building robots, designing space-age solutions, or coding games that get them moving, every day is packed with discovery and confidence-building fun.
