Topics
** EXPLORATIONS IN SCIENCE (Extended Care): In order to better accommodate working parents with time constraints Spectrum of Science offers early hour “Explorations” before camp as well as late “Explorations” pick up after camp. Each day “Explorations” will have different projects including the basic areas of science. These explorations are for all ages and do not include a make and take but are hands on (sometimes even messy!). For more information and to register call 925-820-2415, register directly with Spectrum of Science.
