MORE!
Summers are the perfect time to enjoy the
sunshine, play with friends, and most importantly,
explore! From cooking up fried eggs, engineering
duct tape boats, or creating yummy candy
concoctions, there’s plenty to discover at Camps
for Curious Minds.
Our summer camp offerings have expanded to
continue developing every child’s passion for
exploration and curiosity, including a new location
at Salish Sea Elementary and added scholarships.
We’re ready to reach more campers and leave
everyone with a memorable summer.
So take a look at what we have in store and get
