Long Island Explorium’s Virtual Summer Camps
Enriching STEM activities supporting whole mind, body, and spirit
Our exclusive virtual summer camps will promote STEAM learning, complemented with creative well-being strategies through yoga, mindfulness, art, and music.
Our small and friendly online camp weeks will include a solid balance of interaction, live engagement, and innovative challenges. A camp where your child will be challenged to discover, design, and explore various STEAM projects, while also getting a structured day with quality interaction with other campers. All activities are aligned with NYSLS, ELA, and Math standards.
Each camper will receive a materials kit with supplies needed for the week ahead of time. The camps are led by the Explorium’s experienced STEM educators. All camps will be augmented with guest experts in the field of yoga, mindfulness, and sports.
The camp is designed for children entering grades K-6.
9:00 am - 3:00 pm. Half- and full-day options available.
Full day camp participants will have individualized attention in the afternoon to further build upon their curiosity and imagination.

We are continuing to support STEM learning outside the classroom as well as provide the community with resources to understand issues pertaining to the current pandemic.
During this time we have implemented a number of virtual initiatives including live interactive STEM workshops, a free Pre-K "Little Sparks" STEM program, Online Science Fair, weekly Saturday "Maker Spotlights" featuring guest innovators around the US exploring their passion and engaging the community in a hands-on project and opportunities for volunteering "virtually" by participating in Citizen Science Month activities.
We're all Makers. Make-ing the World a better place. Every week, we will feature Makers from all walks of life showcasing their passion.
Makers are individuals/groups who love sharing what they are make-ing to bring joy to others. Makers can also be small businesses that are make-ing their living off their passion.
Virtual Maker Spotlights
These webinars are organized by the Long Island Explorium, and provided free of
charge.
