Collective Camps

Our trailblazing take on the traditional STEM camp reflect our organization's core values: inclusion and accessibility.

These camps give learners an opportunity to experience science, technology, engineering and math in a manner that suits them best. Yet beyond establishing basic skills in STEM, each camper will develop valuable 21st century skills (e.g., collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking) to the best of their ability.

Accomodations are readily available upon request as we want every individual to make the most of this experience.

A second question asks about the charge of a neutron, with options: positive charge, negative charge, oscillating charge, and no charge. An instructor (Nathan) wears a mask and leads the classroom through these questions, with a student observing.

What makes this experience different?

In a typical STEM camp, a huge emphasis is placed on acquiring hard skills. While these camps certainly provide an opportunity for intellectual growth, the process of acquiring these skills is unique for every individual.

In our Collective Camps, we encourage our campers to teach us how they learn best rather than offering strict instruction. Our adaptive curricula thus ensures each individual's needs are met through every step of the learning process.

When?

Our formal camp days for 2022 are currently as follows:
December 19th to December 23rd

For a more casual yet equally immersive experience, try one of our weekly drop-in sessions!

Where?

Our week-long camps are typicallly conducted virtually, though we do have capacity for in-person attendees (varies by location).

Our weekly drop-in sessions are held in-person, either at the Mukilteo Library or at Kamiak High School.

Why?

All of our camps are offered completely free of charge! Furthermore, we've designed each of our programs to be digitally accessible.

However, if you feel this program still isn't for you, let us know why! We'd be more than willing to accomodate where we can.
