FEATURE: Snapology S.T.E.A.M. Camps

Active hands lead to engaged brains

By Kristin Fouts May 5, 2021

Snapology's learning philosophy is grounded in the belief that children learn best through play. Studies show that children not only better retain lessons learned during joyful, hands-on experiences, but that these experiences also help them discover and refine important developmental skills like problem solving, symbolic thought, communication, reasoning, and so much more. Snapology Indy West serves Plainfield, Whitestown, Zionsville, Brownsburg, Danville, Avon and West Indianapolis schools and recreation centers.

This year Snapology Indy West is offering half-day and full-day camps at several convenient locations between June 1 and July 23, 2021. Registration is just $25 to reserve a spot.  Kids will have a blast making new friends and tackling S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) projects. Snapology camps keep kids' brains engaged and active, but shh...don't tell them it's educational!

STEM Survivor: Does your learner have what it takes to be a STEM Survivor? If your child enjoys taking on engineering and design challenges, working with a team to complete timed tasks, and using partnerships to brainstorm and explore new possibilities to solve unique problems, this program is the perfect place for them to push their STEM and building skills to the next level! Throughout the program, students will be challenged to design and build complicated objects, work cooperatively with others to secure their place on a team, and compete to be the fastest and most precise competitors in the class. Although the tasks will be challenging, they will be structured and guided by a trained Snapologist who will make sure your child gets the support they need to be successful and get the most out of this unique, challenging program!

Snapology’s Amazing Race:  Are you ready for an adventure? Send your learner on a trip with Snapology around the world to discover unique aspects of different cultures, including national flags, traditional cuisines, influential artists, and notable historical landmarks! While they explore, they will be challenged to work with a partner to solve different tasks in various “countries” that will put them ahead or behind in the race to the finish line! Not only will your student be learning about world cultures and developing an appreciation for cultural differences, but they will be competing in fun challenges to test their building and problem-solving skills.


ONLINE CAMPS

Snapology also has 11 weeks of virtual camps lined up to suit your busy summer schedule. Camps run for one hour or two hours each weekday with awesome themes like Minecraft, Star Wars, Amazing Race, Digital Escape Rooms, and so much more! Give your child a chance to meet new friends, play together safely, and learn STEM concepts this summer.
