2026 STEM Explorer Camps
Students explore real inventions while discovering how technology shapes the world. Through hands-on activities, they think like engineers by solving real-world problems using creativity, teamwork, and experimentation. By the end of the program, students gain confidence, practical skills, and a stronger sense of what they can achieve in STEM.
You will select your preferred camp location and dates within the form.
Thank-you to our Funders
We are especially grateful to the funders who make our Summer STEM Camps possible: Spectrum Digital Education Grant, Mr. Roger Kobel, the ARC READY Grant, and the KY G.R.A.N.T. Program. Their support is helping ignite curiosity, build skills, and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers across our region.
We’d also like to thank the Jackson County Public Library for helping to supplement the registration fee for students participating in the camp held at their location.
