As students transform into pirates, they work together to navigate the high seas. Through STEM-focused science experiments, hands-on engineering design activities, and engaging group discussions, students experience just how much science and engineering it takes to be a pirate.

Each day begins with a story that sets the scene and engages the students' senses, curiosity, and critical thinking. Just like real pirates, students must work together with their crew to accomplish challenging tasks such as building catapult, tying knots, making maps, and following them to hidden treasure! Adventure and treasure awaits your students - by the end of Pirate Camp, they'll be singing, Yo ho ho, it a pirate life for me!
