Brooklyn Preschool of Science is turning up the heat this summer with a joyfully messy, curiosity-fueled Summer Science Program<\/a> that will have your child begging to go to \u201cschool\u201d even when school\u2019s out. Each week, children dive into a new theme\u2014dinosaurs, bugs, pirates, and more\u2014through hands-on experiments, creative projects, outdoor adventures, and visits from special guests who bring science to life in the most unforgettable ways.<\/p>\n

A summer where every week is a new adventure<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Instead of one long, blended camp, our summer is organized into weekly themes so kids can fully immerse themselves in a topic, then come back for a completely different world the next week. Every week includes:<\/p>\n

Daily science investigations and lab-style experiments
\nOutdoor water play, nature walks, and park time
\nSpecialists in music, movement, animals, or art
\nCollaborative projects that build across the week
\nA Friday \u201cwow\u201d moment or culminating event<\/p>\n

We keep the structure familiar and comforting for young children while changing the content to keep returning campers excited and engaged.<\/p>\n

Sample themes and weeks
\nRoar, Roar Dinosaur<\/p>\n

Future paleontologists, this one\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n

Children become \u201cdino detectives,\u201d learning how scientists use clues to understand creatures from long ago. Activities might include:<\/p>\n

Excavating \u201cfossils\u201d from plaster or sand with real tools
\nMaking dinosaur footprint tracks and measuring stride lengths
\nComparing teeth and claws to learn about herbivores vs carnivores
\nBuilding mini dinosaur habitats and talking about what these giants needed to survive<\/p>\n

The week ends with a Dino Museum Day, where parents can tour a gallery of bones, fossils, and art created by the kids.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Bug Me Week<\/p>\n

Get ready for six legs, wings, and lots of \u201cewww\u2026 wow!\u201d<\/p>\n

Campers explore the tiny animals that run our world: insects and other small critters. They might:<\/p>\n

Hunt for bugs in a nearby park, using magnifiers and collection jars
\nBuild bug hotels and learn what insects need to feel at home
\nCreate butterfly life-cycle art and watch real caterpillars transform (when possible)
\nAct out pollination as bees, flowers, and wind<\/p>\n

By Friday, kids proudly present their favorite \u201cspecimen\u201d and share one amazing bug fact they discovered.<\/p>\n

Pirate Science Week<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yo-ho-ho and a tub of experiments.<\/p>\n

Our pirates sail through physics, navigation, and chemistry with a playful twist. Activities may include:<\/p>\n

Designing and testing toy boats to see which shapes float best
\nMixing \u201cpirate potions\u201d that bubble, fizz, and change color
\nCreating treasure maps and following directions using basic coordinates
\nBuilding simple compasses and talking about magnets and direction<\/p>\n

The week culminates in a treasure hunt where kids use their new science skills to crack clues and find the hidden \u201cbooty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Specialists, outdoors, and plenty of play<\/p>\n

This is still summer, which means sunshine, water tables, and lots of movement. Each week, children:<\/p>\n

Spend time outdoors for gross-motor play, nature observation, and simple experiments that are better done outside (think erupting volcanoes or giant bubble challenges)
\nMeet visiting specialists\u2014like animal educators, music and movement teachers, or art facilitators\u2014who connect their expertise to that week\u2019s science theme
\nEnjoy open-ended playtime with STEM-rich materials such as blocks, sensory bins, ramps, and loose parts<\/p>\n

The result is a camp that feels like a joyful blend of a science lab, an art studio, and a playground.<\/p>\n

Built for young scientists<\/p>\n

As with our school-year program, the Summer Science Program<\/a> at Brooklyn Preschool of Science is thoughtfully designed for early learners. We keep groups small, activities hands-on, and explanations clear and concrete. Kids don\u2019t just hear facts; they pour, mix, build, observe, and discover them.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to spend the summer exploring, experimenting, and getting gloriously messy with your little scientist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brooklyn Preschool of Science is turning up the heat this summer with a joyfully messy, curiosity-fueled Summer Science…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-190383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
