SUMMER PROGRAMS AT WATERSHED
For three separate weeks this summer, we’re opening our doors to the public for hands-on programs designed for kids ages 9–13. From art to STEM & robotics to outdoor adventure, there’s something for every explorer and creator!
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
See below for camp details & information.
WEEK 1: JUNE 1-5, 2026
STEM ADVENTURES
Join us for an exciting hands-on engineering camp where young builders discover the fundamentals of structural design through real challenges! Campers work in teams to construct bridges, towers, catapults, and earthquake-resistant structures using everyday materials like cardboard, wooden dowels, and straws. Each project introduces key engineering concepts while encouraging experimentation, problem-solving, and learning from failure. Projects culminate in friendly competitions where teams test their creations and showcase their innovations. No prior experience needed – just curiosity and creativity! Perfect for future engineers or anyone who loves to build, tinker, and discover how things work while developing STEM skills and confidence through hands-on fun.
Full day (9am-4pm)
$450/week
Beforecare (8-9am) options available ($75/week)
Aftercare (4-5pm) options available ($75/week)

Our Creative Arts week is an immersive worldbuilding artistic journey to spark wild imagination, storytelling skills, and expand artistic technique. Moving from blank sketchbooks to 3D realms, artists will build fantastical worlds and characters using visual art, blending fundamental techniques in drawing and watercolor, with crafting, collage and sculpture to design characters, landscapes, and physical artifacts on large and small scales. Perfect for anyone wanting full day experience in art immersion and hands-on creativity.
