Overview

We're bringing our summer camp to Bethel University! Join us August 14 through 17 in St. Paul for the same hands-on innovation exploration as our on-site program. Students will plan, build, improve, and show off a project of their design with support from museum educators and camp counselors.

Additional Information

• This camp is offered in partnership with St. Paul Urban Tennis.
• Students ages eight through 13 will play tennis and design, build, and showcase their very own inventions.
• The STTEM camp is free for all participants.
• SPUT has given priority to youth from underrepresented and historically excluded communities within the STEM field.
• Campers should bring their own lunch and water bottle. Lunches and drinks will be set aside in the morning until lunchtime. There is no microwave or refrigerator available for camper use. All lunches will be conducted outdoors, except under extreme weather conditions. This will usually happen at our picnic tables or in the grass under a tree.
• The Bakken Museum will provide a small, individual serving of snacks in the morning. This usually consists of something like pretzels or goldfish crackers, and we do our best to avoid common allergens. Students are welcome to bring their own snacks if they want more to eat or do not want the snack provided. Campers are also encouraged to bring their own water bottle to prevent frequent trips to the drinking fountain.
• Weather permitting, we have three outdoor breaks on any full day. We step outside for a morning snack break (15 mins), eat lunch outside (30 min) and have an after-lunch outdoor break (45 min), and take another brief outdoor break (15 mins) in the afternoon to get some fresh air. A half-day camp will also have an outdoor break halfway through their day.
