Exploration Place’s camps are designed to inspire children to apply the engineering design and scientific processes in a fun, game-like atmosphere. Children work in groups just like real scientists and engineers. Learning is built into challenges and experiments embedded into themes children love and know. Your child will explore and play without technology devices unless a specific activity requires the use of iPads or computers.
School’s Out Edventure camps at Exploration Place are KDHE Certified.
