The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR) hosts a series of STEM camps every summer. These week-long experiences provide students with a memorable, engaging introduction to concepts in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Most of these camps are for students in grades 3-8, but a few are for lower and higher grade levels. 

Topics vary from year to year. The 2024 STEM Camp schedule included a variety of camps giving students an opportunity to work with robotics, video game creation, music production, STEM in space, machine learning and more. 

IALR will release a full schedule for summer 2025 and open registration in early April 2025. 

2024 Summer STEM Camps Recap 

“My two sons and two nephews had a FANTASTIC camp with all of the staff. My youngest son literally cried himself to sleep tonight because he knew he didn’t have camp again tomorrow. All four children were just so excited all week.” – Amy Scott

Camp registration costs include lunch, snacks and supplies. 

Based on their age, campers will be split into two groups of 16. Camp activities are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Participants must be signed in and out daily. Participants should arrive no earlier than 8:15 a.m. and must be picked up no later than 4:40 p.m.

Scholarships

Participants who would like to apply for a camp scholarship will register for the camp and then fill out and return the scholarship application within five business days. Your child’s spot will be reserved while scholarship applications are being reviewed. 

If you would like to apply for financial assistance, email dana.silicki@ialr.org or download the scholarship application. 

REFUNDS

Refunds will be given only with a two-week (14 calendar days) notice prior to the start date of the camp for which you wish to cancel registration. The advance notice must be sent via email to dana.silicki@ialr.org. No exceptions will be made to this policy.

IALR reserves the right to cancel any camp. If a camp is cancelled, a refund will be issued and electronic notification will be made to all paid registrants.
