Bay Area Science and Technology Camps
“For camps, museums have the added advantage of facilities from planetariums to labs to hands-on exhibits, as well as staff with expertise in science and education.”
Diablo Magazine
Summer STEM Camps in the East Bay
“Surrounded by parklands, Chabot Space and Science Center offers children plenty of room to get active indoors and out. Inside, the museum’s planetarium, theater, and exhibits are all at the campers’ disposal. Outside, they burn energy at the playground or hike through giant redwoods.”

Summer Camp Created an Astronaut in the Making
“After Summer Camp, Emera was increasingly engaged in STEM learning. As she started up in school during the fall, Emera made unique connections between her discoveries at camp and what she learned in the classroom. It had a lasting impact on how she looked at science class.”
