Mad Science summer camps offer a unique combination of fun, hands-on activities, with extended science investigation.  Each day follows a different theme, and the children play games, perform experiments and assist with demonstrations all related to that theme.  In typical Mad Science fashion, they also make something to take home with them to encourage continued exploration of scientific concepts and discovery.
