WHERE CURIOSITY SPARKS DISCOVERY

Future Stars Mad Scientist Camp lets campers unleash their curiosity and creativity in a hands-on science adventure! Each day is packed with wild experiments, mind-bending discoveries, and hands-on challenges designed to spark a love for science.

Campers mix crazy concoctions, explore chemistry and physics phenomena, and uncover the “whys” and “hows” behind everyday science. Through collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking, young scientists bring ideas to life and see the magic of discovery in action.

Programs take place in modern classrooms with all necessary equipment provided. Recreational games and water park round out each day, giving campers a balanced mix of learning, exploration, and fun.

Carol’s mission as an educator is to inspire her students each and every day to innovate and develop solutions to the challenges we face on a daily basis. To that end, Carol can’t wait to work with and have fun with our future scientists, engineers, coders and detectives this summer!

Carol is a distinguished educator of nearly thirty years. She has performed a variety of roles in the East Islip School District as a teacher of 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade. Most recently, Carol helped the East Islip School District to pioneer their S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) program, where she teaches students in grades 3-5 to create, design, and communicate in teams to solve everyday problems.

Carol holds an M.A. in Reading and Special Education from Dowling College, as well as a B.A. in Elementary Education and Spanish from Clemson University. She also holds an SBL degree in administration and is currently a supervisor of student teachers at St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue.

Carol was the head varsity volleyball coach at East Islip between 1994-2001, leading the Redmen to multiple Section XI playoff appearances, with teams consisting of athletes who would go on to compete at the college level in NCAA Division I and III. She was also selected in 2012 as the faculty recipient of the National Blue Ribbon Award for Timber Point Elementary School.

In her time away from school, Carol enjoys hiking, gardening, and spending time with her two sons.
