For All Parents
We expect to have approximately 100-120 campers each week, supervised and taught by a team of 36 staff and volunteers.
We’re building a diverse team of dedicated staff ages 16 and older who are focused on delivering a safe and engaging STEM and outdoor learning program.
Our Camp is open to all children regardless of gender identity. Each year about 40% of our campers are girls! We welcome and encourage ALL children to join us for a summer of STEM fun!
At this time, yes. We’re committed to keeping children safe, and we’ve found that younger children need more support throughout the day. We’re not equipped to provide high levels of support and rely on parents, guardians, and volunteers to provide this additional support and supervision.
Yes, thanks to the generosity of other camp families and donors, we have money set-aside each year for financial aid that we call “Camperships”. Camperships are need-based, and are awarded for up-to 50% of the camp fee. You can fill-out our Campership request for at this link.

For Parents of Scouts
The STEM Adventure Day Camp is a STEM and outdoor learning focused program. While it does pay homage to the Camp Garrison’s Cub Scout Day Camp through some of its programming its not strictly a scout camp and is open to the general public.
Things that are staying the same:
STEM Adventure Day Camp still includes outdoor recreational programming such as shooting sports, fishing, and outdoor skills.
Things that are changing:
We’re shifting to a STEM focus where we’ll be exploring new topics each week. We now have a mostly paid camp staff that is trained in their teaching area, supplemented by volunteers.
