2024 Summer Camp Registration Opens February, 1 2024
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!

COVID 19 Policies: At Ignite, your child's health and safety is our primary concern. We will follow the current CDC mask guidelines. Parents may choose whether or not their child wears a mask at camps or classes. Adult teachers who are fully vaccinated will not be required to wear a mask, but may choose to do so. STEAM learning is collaborative and students learn best from each other. As we work to create a safe lab that still allows for protected collaboration, we have planned STEAM activities to allow for individual ingenuity, limited the number of campers, and put in place stringent cleaning protocols. Please be aware that we recommend that teachers wear face masks, but if a teacher has a medical condition that prohibits the wearing of a face covering, we will not require the use of face masks.
