Why enroll your child with the Science Institute of Technology?
At SID, we don’t just teach science – we inspire a lifelong love for learning. Here’s why parents like you choose us year after year:
- Hands-On Learning That Sparks Curiosity
SID immerses campers in hands-on activities that are designed to bring the sciences to life. Studies show that hands-on learning improves retention and engagement, helping children retain up to 75% more of what they learn compared to passive methods.
- Real-World Skills for Future Success
In today’s fast-paced world, skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration are more important than ever. At SID, campers tackle real-world challenges that teach them to think like innovators. These experiences not only prepare them for future careers but also build confidence and independence.
- A Safe Space to Explore and Grow
SID is more than a camp, it’s a community where every child feels valued and supported. Our small group sizes and experienced mentors ensure that campers receive personalized attention, supercharging both academic growth and social-emotional development. Parents often tell us how their children leave camp more confident, curious, and ready to take on new challenges.

We create experiences beyond the classroom with unforgettable excursions. Plus, campers get to meet inspiring guest speakers – from engineers to marine biologists – who share their journeys and show kids what’s possible in STEAM careers.
- A Summer They’ll Never Forget
At SID, learning is fun! Campers make memories that last a lifetime. And with a focus on teamwork and creativity, they also build friendships that extend far beyond the summer.
