Carnival Creations

What’s more fun than going to a carnival?  Coming to a summer camp where you can make a carnival! Students will use everyday "trash" like bottles, cans, egg cartons and cardboard boxes to create fun, sustainable carnival games including ring toss, plinko, mazes, basketball shoot out and so much more. Students will deepen their eco-awareness by learning how to use the things we throw away to engineer, build, and create fun. And these “carnivalers” will experience the simple joy of creating carnival games that can be shared and enjoyed with each other and at home.

KOSC Summer Camp Registration Basics:

• KOSC Members get a 15% discount on STEM Summer Camps. Memberships can be purchased directly during registration.




• Early Bird Tuition is available through May 31. Add $20 when registering after May 31.




• Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for an additional $20/day. This can be added during initial registration or closer to the camp's start date.




• Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early and avoid the waiting list.




• Refunds are available (less a $15 administration fee) if a student withdraws 14 days prior to the start of camp. No refunds are provided for cancellations within the 13-day window prior to camp. In case of cancellation due to insufficient enrollment, participants will be notified one week in advance and will receive a full refund.




• At checkout, there is an option to pay by check, if preferred. When sending a check, please make it out to Kopernik Observatory & Science Center and include a note specifying where the funds should be applied (especially for those registering for multiple camps). Checks must be sent to Kopernik at the time of registration and pay for the camp in full. Please contact Kopernik directly with questions or concerns.




• Some camps offer two sessions, designated Session A and Session B. Please note that the curriculum in each session is identical.




• A welcome email will be sent approximately one week before the first day of camp providing specifics on the class and a letter from the teacher.
