Celsius & Beyond stands out for its instructors who are working scientists, providing college-level material distilled for kids through genuine scientific investigation and real lab equipment.
Celsius & Beyond Science Camps offer immersive, hands-on science experiences for students in grades 1-9. The camps provide a unique opportunity to delve into various scientific disciplines, including anatomy, ecology, chemistry, physics, genetics, neuroscience, and medical science. The curriculum is designed to distill college-level material into engaging activities for kids, fostering curiosity and confidence. Campers participate in real scientific investigations using authentic lab equipment, hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and projects. The program emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to distinguish between proven facts and theory. Students gain transferrable skills in scientific thinking, learning to seek verifiable information and evaluate evidence. Specific activities can include dissections during anatomy week, exploring marine-related locations in the city for ecology, or engaging in cooking and sensory design for neuroscience-themed camps. The goal is to make learning fun and impactful, inspiring a lasting passion for science.
A typical day involves welcoming campers, an introductory science video or game, an experiment demonstration followed by hands-on experiments, and then a second, larger experiment where everyone participates, with lunch and recess in between.
This camp is best for elementary and middle schoolers with a genuine interest in science, particularly those who enjoy hands-on learning and in-depth exploration of scientific topics.
