ScienceSouth Offers Summer Science to Kids

Posted Friday, May 14, 2010

Florence, SC, May 14, 2010 - ScienceSouth will kick the summer off with a bang with the start of its annual science summer camps in June. Crazy Chemistry begins June 7 and is one of the five science-themed camps slated to run at the ScienceSouth Pavilion at Freedom Florence from June to the end of July.

New to this summer’s camp roster is the Junior Scientist camp. “Since our very first camp, parents and kids alike have expressed an interest in opening the camp to younger children,” Outreach and Delivery Coordinator Erin Powers said. “This summer seemed like the perfect opportunity to debut a camp targeted to a younger audience. While our other camps are for rising fourth to eighth graders, Junior Scientist camp is for rising first through third graders. We’ve had a great response for registration for this new camp.”

Forensic Frenzy, Biology 101 and Extreme Engineering round out the remaining camps. All camps are $175.00 per child, which includes the cost of camp and a mid-morning snack. Camp runs from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm, however, parents may drop off as early as 8:00 am and pick up no later than 2:00 pm.

ScienceSouth is a nonprofit educational organization with the mission to advance scientific understanding and increase the competitiveness of future generations in all areas of science. For additional camp information visit www.sciencesouth.org or call 843-679-5353 ext 313.
