Our best in class STEAM Day Camp asks your Scout to study what it takes to survive in the rainforest. How would explorers set up for an expedition? How do they get there? What do they study and how? Your young scientist will have a great time finding out at our camp at Austin ISD's Applied Technology Center at Anderson High School. There are five week-long sessions in June and July.
