Bennett Day Camp offers a flexible, 'choose-your-own-adventure' style summer experience with a strong emphasis on project-based learning, real-world exploration through field trips, and a collaborative culture that nurtures curiosity and leadership.
Bennett Day Camp's STEM Tracks offer children aged 4-15 a dynamic summer experience focused on hands-on exploration and creative problem-solving in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Campers engage in a variety of activities such as robotics, coding, drone exploration, and mechanical engineering. The program emphasizes learning by doing, allowing students to design, build, and experiment. Skills gained include critical thinking, teamwork, scientific inquiry, and technological literacy. Outcomes include developing a lifelong love for learning and discovery, fostering self-identity, and building leadership skills through real-world exploration and collaborative projects. Field trips to exciting Chicago destinations further enrich the learning experience, connecting classroom concepts to the wider world.
A typical day for younger campers (ages 4-10) involves enrichment classes in the morning focusing on movement, creative problem-solving, scientific inquiry, and art exploration, followed by afternoons with music, crafts, games, and outdoor play. Middle school camps typically run from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, with options to extend the day with lunch and afternoon activities.
This camp is best for curious and adventurous students aged 4-15 who thrive in a hands-on, project-based learning environment and enjoy exploring STEM concepts through creative challenges and real-world applications.
