Think and act like NASA Innovators during this hands-on program inspired by NASA’s current missions. The primary focus will include the ARTEMIS mission to the moon during which NASA will land the first woman and next man on the moon’s surface by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. Kids will love to design their mission patches and build their own rovers as they put themselves in the shoes of an astronaut. The sky is no longer the limit in this hands-on camp!

Tumble Bunnies uses equipment to create fun, energized, and fast moving classes that introduce children to the sport of gymnastics.  Cartwheels, handstands, back walkovers, rolling, and skills taught on floor, bars, beam, mats, tunnels, and trampolines are some examples of what children will learn from Tumble Bunnies' Gymnastics classes. Movement to music is included in every class which creates a fun atmosphere to build coordination, rhythm, and timing.

No special attire necessary.

Kids will make slime and potions each day to learn about their superpower, mindfulness, and the art of managing emotions and frustrations.
