Summer is the perfect time for curiosity to grow, ideas to spark, and young minds to explore the world in new ways. Our summer camp for elementary students creates a space where children can discover, invent, and learn through hands-on experiences that bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life—all while making friends and having fun!

Every Day Is a New Adventure 

No two days at camp are the same! Each session is packed with exciting challenges, creative experiments, and collaborative projects that keep campers engaged and inspired.  

Campers might: 

• Design and test their own inventions 
• Build chain reaction machines and explore physics in action 
• Experiment with chemistry reactions 
• Explore robotics and coding 
• Solve engineering challenges using everyday materials 

Through playful experimentation and teamwork, students learn to ask questions, test ideas, solve problems, and celebrate both successes and “try-again” moments. 

Built for Curious Minds 

Our camp instructors guide activities that meet students where they are. Whether a camper is just starting to explore science or already loves building and coding, our instructors provide experiences that support different learning styles and levels of experience. Campers are encouraged to think like scientists and engineers, collaborate with peers, and discover that creativity and curiosity are powerful tools for learning. 

Flexible Options for Families 

We know summer schedules can vary, so we offer options to fit your family’s needs: 

• Half-day camps 
• Full-day camps 
• End-of-day extensions  

This flexibility ensures campers get plenty of time to dive into discovery while making it easy for families to create a summer schedule that works. 

Where Fun and Learning Go Hand in Hand 

Most importantly, our Summer STEM Camp is joyful. Campers leave each day proud of what they created, excited about what they discovered, and eager for the next challenge. Summer camp at North Dakota’s Gateway to Science prioritizes fun and helps create confidence. Because activities change every week and year, new ideas are always explored. Campers can return summer after summer and have a completely new experience each time.
