Third Grade & Up
Older students work with more complex themes and dive into them with increased depth.
Themes may vary per location.
Hogwarts Hopefuls
Summon your wands and brooms for all things Harry Potter! Partake in the magic behind the phenomena as you get sorted into your house, embody your favorite character, reimagine quidditch, and dabble with spells during your weeklong stay at our wizarding world!
Shark Week!
The Great White shark is JAWSome, but what other sharks do you know about? Join us as we dive deep into the vast ocean of shark knowledge, and swim with the FINtastic predators of the sea!
Marvelous Heroes
No one can get enough of the comic book heroes–what makes them so appealing? What powers do they possess, and which ones are your favorites? What kind of heroes do you know in your own life? Are you on your way to becoming a superhero?
Star Trek
Our solar system is the backdrop (and even takes center stage) for many books, movies, and television shows. But how much do you know about our own Milky Way Galaxy? Consider the space tourism industry and companies such as SpaceX. Why are so many eager to explore space? Join us in our out-of-this-world exploration of the final frontier!

DreamWorks vs Pixar
Lets visit the story of how DreamWorks and Pixar rise to become two of the biggest animation studios. While exploring the movie hits of both companies we will also channel our creativity and imagination to develop unique animated characters that will tell their own stories.
Night at the Museum
This classic movie takes place at the American Museum of Natural History and its characters are historical figures who come to life at night. Utilizing this idea of historical fantasy, we will set one foot in the past as we recreate and reimagine what once was by designing our own unique museum exhibits!
Spy Among Us
No junior spy is fully ready until they go through the stealth training shared within this camp. Master the art of code creating & busting, and stealthily maneuver obstacle courses & laser traps to get through an IRL Among Us challenge, and so youll never be sus!
Engineering
We know kids have a natural fascination with both building things and taking things apart. This curiosity is how our little explorers figure out how things work in the world. Safari Kid Engineering Camp guides this natural curiosity into more formal explorations using hands-on learning strategies and project-based learning. Safari Kid campers will discover the process of construction through our innovative engineering curriculum in which they will investigate a problem, imagine a solution, and then work to design, create, and improve it. As a result, our campers self-confidence will blossom as they begin to see themselves as creative problem solvers, while also developing inner strength in character through their perseverance and determination.
