2024 Summer Camps!

At Ignite, STEM isn't about worksheets or textbooks. Our Summer Camps look like a room full of excited, creative kids exploring science, creatively tackling engineering challenges, learning introductory coding, and gaining confidence in their abilities to bring their own ideas to life. It's sometimes noisy, sometimes focused, and always FUN!

  • Weekly Camps run the week of June 3rd thru July 29th

  • Morning camps meet 9:30 - 12:00

  • Afternoon camps meet 1:30 - 4:00

  • Campers should wear casual clothes - slime and paint explosions don't always wash out!

  • Campers can bring a water bottle and peanut-free snack if desired

  • Location: 216 Bransfield Rd Greenville, SC 29615

  • If you have multiple elementary age children you would like to send to camp at the same time, but who don’t all fit in a camp age-group, contact us at beth@igniteingenuity.org and we will discuss the possibility of all of them attending.
