Summer STEM Activities
Explore. Build. Discover.
Three weeks of hands-on learning across four exciting STEM disciplines, designed for curious young minds ready to create something amazing.
OUR FOUR DISCIPLINES
What We Explore at Camp
Every camper dives deep into four core STEM areas throughout the summer. Each discipline builds on the last, growing confidence, creativity, and real skills.
💻
Coding
From block-based programming to Python, C# or Java fundamentals, campers learn the language of technology in a fun, approachable way.
⚗️
Chemistry
Safe, exciting lab experiments that spark curiosity. Campers mix, observe, and discover the science hiding in everyday life.
🖨️
3D Printing
Design meets engineering. Campers go from sketch to physical object using beginner-friendly CAD tools and real 3D printers.
⚡
Circuits
Light up LEDs, build simple machines, and understand electricity, hands-on circuit building that makes kids feel like real engineers.
COMING SOON...
Independent weeks are paused for the summer, as Belmont Makers is seeking to collaborate with other programs. We hope to see you there!

Work In Progress...
3 Weeks. 4 Disciplines. Endless Learning.
Each week builds on the one before. Campers grow their skills progressively across all four activity tracks.
WEEK 1
Explore & Discover
Kick off the summer by diving into all four STEM disciplines for the very first time. Week 1 is all about curiosity, trying new things, asking big questions, and making your first creations. Finding what creates a spark in you.
My First Program
Campers write their very first lines of code using block-based tools, creating simple animations and interactive stories to share with friends and family.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Colorful Reactions
From fizzing volcanoes to color-changing liquids, campers explore the magic of chemical reactions through safe, exciting hands-on experiments.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Design Your World
Campers learn the basics of 3D design software and create their first digital model, then watch it come to life on a real 3D printer.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Let There Be Light!
Campers build their first circuits to light up LEDs and discover how electricity flows, hands-on, surprising, and a total blast.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
WEEK 2
Build & Create
With the basics under their belts, campers go deeper. Week 2 is about building on what they learned and tackling bigger, more exciting projects across all four tracks.
Game On!
Campers design and build their own mini-game using the programming skills from Week 1. Think characters, rules, and scores.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Kitchen Science Lab
Campers investigate the science behind everyday foods and materials, mixing, testing, and discovering what makes things bubble, change color, or transform.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Engineer a Solution
Campers identify a real-world problem and design a 3D-printed object that solves it. Creativity and engineering thinking come together here.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Build a Gadget
Campers combine switches, resistors, and LEDs into their own functioning gadget, learning how real devices are assembled along the way.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
WEEK 3
Present & Celebrate
The final week is all about putting it together. Campers refine their projects, practice presenting their work, and celebrate everything they’ve built and learned this summer.
Show Off Your App
Campers polish their coding project and present it to the group, explaining how it works and what they’d build next if they had more time.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Mini Science Showcase
Campers design a small experiment of their own choosing and present their findings to peers and instructors, just like real scientists do.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Maker Gallery
Campers display their 3D-printed creations and walk through their design process, from the very first sketch to the finished object in their hands.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
Demo Day
Campers demonstrate their working circuit projects, share how they overcame challenges, and imagine what they’d improve in a next version.
📅 Mon – Fri | ⏱ 1 hr / day
