Day Camps
School's out? Build something today.
Single-day engineering camps on school holidays and break weeks. Your camper picks their project from the day's menu ahead of time, spends the day building it, gets some open-makerspace time to tinker once it's done, and takes it home.
Every day off, covered.
School holidays and break weeks across the year. Pick a date and grab a spot — each one is its own camp with a menu of projects to choose from, build, and take home.
Choose your project. Build it in a day.
Every camp day offers a menu of buildable projects, and each camper picks the one they want to make. The menu changes by date — here's the kind of thing kids choose from and walk out with.
Ping-Pong Ball Launcher
Engineer a spring-loaded launcher, then dial in the range and fire.
3D-Printed Flashlight
Design it, print it, wire the circuit, and light it up.
Water Blaster
Build a pressure-powered blaster from real components.
Rocket Launcher
Construct and fire a safe compressed-air rocket.
Pick the project before camp day.
About a week before each camp, we email a form to choose your camper's project. Spots per project are limited, so keep an eye out and pick early — it lets us cut, kit, and prep their materials before they walk in.

Not babysitting. A real build day.
A day off school becomes a day of real engineering. Kids spend it building with real tools — and walk out with something they made and get to keep.
- Real tools and real materials in a working shop
- The project they chose, finished and taken home that day
- Taught by real makers and engineers, not camp counselors
- Hands-on building, not sitting and watching
- Mixed ages, grades 1–8 — projects scale to each kid
- A midday walk to the park to run around
Real tools demand a real ratio.
Soldering irons, saws, power tools, live circuits — real engineering takes real supervision. So every day-camp group is capped at eight kids per instructor. It's the only way each kid gets real time on the tools instead of waiting their turn to watch — and it's a ratio you won't find at any other camp.
- Every camper hands-on with the tools — not stuck watching a demo
- An instructor close enough to coach each build, step by step
- The safety that real shop work with kids demands, all day long
One full day, start to finish.
Kids build through the morning and usually finish their project before lunch, then a midday walk to Gandara Park for lunch and outdoor play, and often some open makerspace time in the afternoon. Please arrive before the 9:15 AM safety talk — for everyone's safety, we can't add a camper to the floor after it.
