Explorers - Los Gatos, CA 2026

"Get ready to move, listen, and discover how energy shows up in our everyday world! Campers explore sound and motion through playful experiments that turn curiosity into real science learning. Throughout the week, campers create simple musical instruments and test how different materials change the sounds they make. They’ll explore vibrations with hands-on stations that show how sound can travel through air and solid objects, and they’ll use movement games to investigate pushes, pulls, and how things start, stop, and change direction. Campers also practice early biology skills by meeting a toad and comparing living and non-living things using observation clues like movement, needs, and life cycles. By the end of camp, learners will strengthen observation, communication, and early inquiry skills while building confidence experimenting and sharing ideas. Campers will also meet YSI’s live animal ambassadors to connect science concepts to real animals." *Please note, camp will NOT be in session on Friday, July 3rd, due to the holiday weekend
