Not at all! Our camps are designed to be engaging and inclusive for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

Whether your child is trying something new or already passionate about science, music, or theatre, they’ll be guided by instructors who know how to meet kids where they are.

Our camp staff includes experienced educators from Metro Prep’s GENIUS Biotechnology Program and SMITH Program. They’re passionate about working with kids and creating a safe, inclusive space where everyone can learn and grow.

They’re both! Our programs are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and help kids learn real skills in a fun and engaging environment. Every session is hands-on and rooted in meaningful learning—without feeling like school.
