Who thrives here Ages 10–13

Outdoor Science Camp is built for middle-school campers — an age where leadership tracks, deeper specialization, and identity exploration take over from generalist day-camp formats. community/rec center programs that thrive at this age publish a clear weekly progression rather than a rotating activity menu, and the staff-to-camper conversation usually matters more than the activity list.

Frequently asked about Outdoor Science Camp

What ages does Outdoor Science Camp accept?

How much does Outdoor Science Camp cost?
Outdoor Science Camp publishes $299/week for the standard session. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
What are Outdoor Science Camp's hours?
Outdoor Science Camp runs 9 a.m.-4 p.m.. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
Who runs Outdoor Science Camp?

Does Outdoor Science Camp provide lunch?
Outdoor Science Camp does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
