STEM Camps
If Einstein is your child’s middle name, or she’s got an interest in numbers, Legos or (like in my house) just wants to blow things up, then here are some camp options for you. Sadly, the reality is…if you have a child who is really gifted in these areas, you’ll likely need to leave the San Antonio area to find what you are looking for.

Design a Hovercraft (pretty cool!) or All Terrain Vehicle at St. Mary’s Hall
