Mad Science — Summer STEM Camp (Umbrella)

Nationwide (franchise locations)

Mad Science offers engaging, hands-on STEM summer camps for children, focusing on interactive science experiments and educational fun.

▌ Editor's read The Mad Science website (madscience.org/parents-camps) serves as a portal for numerous franchise locations, making it challenging to gather specific details about any single camp. The site emphasizes hands-on science activities and a fun learning environment. While it promotes a global presence and a variety of STEM themes, there is no information regarding ACA accreditation, staff-to-camper ratios, or background check policies for individual camp staff. The 'About Us' section mentions a history of over 30 years, but does not provide a specific founding date or founder's name. The owner type appears to be a for-profit franchise model. Social media links for Instagram (@madsciencegroup) and Facebook (@madsciencegroup) are present, indicating a centralized marketing effort.
