S.T.E.M. Specialty Program

Join us for a S.T.E.M.-filled week where budding engineers, scientists, and naturalists unite! Tackle engineering puzzles, delve into the mysteries of Vermont’s ecosystems, and construct both the tiny and the tremendous. Each day brings field explorations, interactive games, and themed group projects, capped with a choice of focused, hands-on activities in the afternoon. We’ll conclude with a refreshing swim to relax and reflect on the day’s discoveries.
