Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead

The West Springfield Park & Recreation Department is excited to offer a program in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math, for children ages 6-12 as of September 1, 2024 at the UNICO Building located in Mittineague Park. Children will be separated into age appropriate groups and will rotate between different featured activities throughout the day! Each day your child will wake up excited to attend camp and to find out what the mystery theme will be! With tons of hands-on learning, this is a fantastic introductory program for your child to find their future favorite hobby! There will be NO off site field trips. There will be NO swimming, however, children will have the opportunity to participate in water play. Parents will need to provide their own transportation, provide their own breakfast/lunch/snack and bring a water bottle for their child.
