STEAM camp
Science. Technology. Engineering. Art. Math.
For campers entering grades 2 through 8, STEAM are the best Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math summer camp programs around. All STEAM camps are held at Old Court Road. STEAM campers ride the bus to the Big Camp in Reisterstown, and then at 9:35am, they board a separate bus to Old Court. At 2:00pm, they return to the Big Camp where they’ll swim and/or participate in camp activities, before boarding the bus home at 4:00pm.
