Snapology
54 Coles St, Jersey City
When school is out, you don’t want your child to stop learning! You also want them to have fun and enjoy their time away from school. At our Snapology STEAM Summer Camp, we believe that learning should never be dull or monotonous. Instead, we strive to create an environment where children can explore, experiment, and discover the wonders of the world around them. From coding and robotics to art and design, our diverse range of programs caters to every child’s interests and unlocks their true potential! Snapology provides children’s enrichment at its best with STEAM Summer Camps that engage children aged 4 to 12.
Snapology instructors use fun, hands-on activities to teach Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. While children are exploring robotics, coding, and design challenges using specialized LEGO® bricks, motors, sensors and more, they’re building skills that will help them throughout school and their careers. To kids, it’s just fun! The camp offers opportunities for kids to work together, solve problems and even present their creations to the room, building critical social skills. We also routinely take kids to Hamilton Park for outdoor play time in the sun! Both Half Day and Full Day Options available!
