Hands-on Summer Camp Activities

Hands-on learning activities are where campers build, create, experiment and learn in the real world.  Team 3’s Summer STEAM Camp’s inquiry-based learning approach hands-on activities means that campers aren’t told how to do things, but rather they are encouraged to try different ways and to ask various questions, to discover how they could solve a particular problem with the tools or materials provided.  Their curiosity leads the way!  The result is that campers not only learn about the different principles underlying the activities, they also learn that failure isn’t bad and it isn’t an endpoint – we learn so much when we fail, and it’s just the start of a new path to try! 

We’ve created brand new and exciting fun for 2025, and to give you an idea of the sorts of things we’ll get up to, here are just a few of our hands-on activities that campers will participate in during our 2025 themed weeks.
