Are We Seeing Double? Yes, Double the STEAM Trips!
Our STEAM Summer Camp students explored two exciting learning destinations! During their visit to the Near West Theatre, they stepped into the spotlight with improv games, movement exercises, and stage skills that built their confidence and creativity.
At the Great Lakes Science Center, they dove into hands-on experiments and exhibits that brought science to life! Whether performing on stage or experimenting in the lab, our campers are discovering new passions and possibilities every day.
We cannot wait to see where their curiosity takes them next!
