Put some STEM in your summer! GSSI’s STEM Explosions 2 and A Mini STEM Explosion Day Camps are open for registration until June 23.

STEM Explosions 2: Camp CSI
Grades: 4-12 (Fall 2014) • July 21-25, 2014 • Camp Torqua, Edwardsville, IL

Join us on a week long adventure into the world of science, technology, engineering and math with a focus on crime scene investigation. We will perform experiments, learn from experts and put the pieces together to solve a high profile crime. Every good detective needs a break now and then, so we will take a day and travel off-site to refresh and recharge ourselves. Of course, our STEM Explosions camp would not be complete without a few “exploding surprises” and traditional camp activities.


A Mini STEM Explosion!
Grades 2-3 (Fall 2014) • July 24-25, 2014 • Camp Torqua, Edwardsville, IL

 Brownies love STEM, too! Join us on a two day adventure into the world of science, technology, engineering and math. During this two day camp you will enjoy amazing hands on science experiments, robots and, of course, some things that “explode”. Since we are at camp, we will also include some traditional camp activities like outdoor cooking, games and songs.
