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 collegiate classrooms with all necessary equipment provided. Recreational games and water park activities round out each day, giving campers a balanced mix of learning, exploration, and fun.

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.
