Young Scientists Program at Camp Wonder Works - New Hyde Park, Nassau County

Igniting Curiosity Through Hands-On STEM Exploration

At Camp Wonder Works in New Hyde Park, Nassau County, our Young Scientists Program is where future inventors, explorers, and problem-solvers begin their journey. Tailored for campers in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, this exciting STEM-focused program introduces children to the world of science through fun, age-appropriate experiments, discovery activities, and interactive lessons.

What Is the Young Scientists Program?

The Young Scientists program makes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) come alive for young learners. Each week, campers dive into hands-on activities that explore key scientific concepts in a way that’s playful, engaging, and easy to understand.

Children will:

  • Learn about famous scientists and their inventions

  • Conduct safe, guided experiments with everyday materials

  • Explore topics like weather, magnetism, biology, and chemistry

  • Build simple machines and structures

  • Predict, observe, and draw conclusions like real scientists

Whether they’re testing gravity with paper parachutes or building a mini volcano, every project sparks curiosity and critical thinking.

Why STEM in Early Childhood?

Research shows that introducing STEM at a young age helps children develop:

  • Problem-solving and reasoning skills

  • Curiosity and confidence in learning

  • Teamwork and communication abilities

  • A strong foundation for future academic success

At Camp Wonder Works, our Young Scientists are encouraged to ask questions, experiment boldly, and learn by doing—all in a fun, supportive environment.

A Typical Day in Young Scientists

Each week features a new STEM theme and a scientist spotlight. From exploring the stars like Galileo to studying plants like George Washington Carver, our campers become mini scientists themselves—equipped with goggles, lab coats (the fun kind!), and an endless supply of wonder.

All experiments are safe, age-appropriate, and mess-friendly (because we believe a little mess is part of the magic).
