Summer Science Camp 2011:
|
While your kids are learning about rocketry, electricity, chemistry, and robotics, you'll be enjoying beautiful beaches, lush wine country vineyards, hiking the Pacific Coast, boutiques and gourmet shopping, sea life and whale watching, dozen of biking trails, fresh local dining, live outdoor concerts, and much more. San Luis Obispo is a vacation destination for tens of thousands of people from all over the world each year. Still, it maintains a friendly, relaxed, small-town feel that separates it from typically crowded tourist attractions. |
What will your kids learn?Science Camp is taught by a real mechanical engineer, airplane pilot, astronomer, university engineering instructor, and rocket scientist (Aurora herself)! For kids ages 7-12.Come join us for a summer jam-packed with learning and fun! Our science camps are NOT just for homeschoolers - they are for everyone interested in doing real hands-on science! Kids really do keep everything they build and invent during our workshop. Here's a sneak peek at some of the projects we cover: |
 |
 |
Aeronautics & RocketryWe'll cover air pressure, the four aerodynamic forces, and flight dynamics concepts by:
|

Electricity & MagnetismWe'll cover electricity, conductivity, static charges, magnetism, and Maxwell's Electromagnetism Principles by:
|
 |
Physics of Light, Sound, and MotionWe'll cover Newton's Physical Laws of Motion, sonic vibrations, resonance, acceleration, g-force, and one of the biggest leaps in all scientific history: how electricity and magnetism are linked to form light waves... all by:
|
 |
Astronomy & AstrophysicsTake an intergalactic tour of the universe without leaving your seat!
|
 |
ChemistryWe'll cover chemical kinetics, phase shifts, the five states of matter, atoms, molecules, elements, different types of chemical reactions, and Le Châtelier's Equilibrium Principle.

"When I asked my kids what the highlights of our year had been, they unanimously said it was Aurora's Supercharged Science Camp. They had the most wonderful week making gadgets, mixing goo, playing with lasers and walking on water! Aurora inspired them to try, tinker and think!" Viviane M. |

"You have been such a fun inspiration for our son Sam, and totally got him fired up to build, connect, explode, invent, test, create, discover, question... and in a nutshell, get wildly excited about how our physical world behaves through experimentation. Thank you! Thank you!" ~Jan Soto, San Luis Obispo. |
What ages is e-Camp for?
The Supercharged Science Camp is open to kids ages 7-12 years. We want to be sure that our science classes will challenge your child in a meaningful and empowering way.
Older students (ages 13 years and up) may attend as apprentices and complete special projects from Aurora personally, including soldering together advanced robots and constructing super-cool spyware laser projects. (Space is very limited for these apprenticeship slots. Please contact us first before registering.)
How much does the camp cost?
While I personally teach the camp myself, your kids will also be well supported by my team of assistant teachers through every step of every activity. My staff includes science teachers, university engineering students and other science professionals.
Science Camp costs $495, which includes all material costs for the 47 science projects, activities, and experiments your child gets to build and take home (materials are worth over $100).
NOTE: SLO County residents: We have a special discount just for you! Contact us to register.
That's less than $20 per hour of camp!
(some daycare programs cost that much!)
Your kids will have the chance to work personally with me, ask me all their questions and get to experience all my latest material before anyone else does!
ALERT! Get a FREE Hovercraft Science Kit during the week of Science Camp when you sign up two or more family members! Includes parts, materials, and instructional DVD. We only have a handful of these, so when they’re gone, they are GONE. ($50 value)
Can I really make a great summer vacation for my family that includes Science Camp?
YES! Absolutely! Many families make our Science Camp part of their summer travel plans. We have students attend from all over the USA for a week while their parents enjoy a vacation in paradise (more on this below). Click here to learn more about vacationing in San Luis Obispo.

Is Supercharged Science Camp only for homeschool kids?
NO!! Our camps are open to EVERYONE. Supercharged Science reaches many families, including public school, private school, and homeschool kids. I encourage everyone who is interested to join us. I guarantee you'll have more fun than you think!
What will Supercharged Science Camp do for my kids?
• Provide a totally fun summer of science education for your kids. To them it feels like just plain summer fun. But as a parent, you know they're learning as much science as they would in three months of science classes. The great part is, it doesn't seem like school at all to them!
• Allow your kids to participate in a self-guided format that totally encourages imagination and creativity. Your kids will be interacting with college engineering students and science teachers in an easy-going learning environment. They can do the whole camp on their own without your help, even if you don't know a thing about science yourself, or haven't had the time to do science with them before. No previous experience required.
• Give your kids an incredibly fun AND educational science camp experience. Last time we did a camp, over 800 kids joined us for a totally fun experience they won't forget. Parents were impressed by how much kids learned, and how it really helped them to be ready for school in September.
The goal is to bring out this kind of fascination and excitement for fun and learning in your kids. I'm grateful for the chance given to play with and teach your children. We look forward to sharing an amazing year with you and them.
What if I change my mind ?
If you change your mind, you may get a full refund as long as you let me know by June 19, 2011.
What are the science classes like during camp?
In a word... WOW! My first job is to hook your kids on learning and science, so we always start with super-cool experiments like rocketry demonstrations and laser light shows. After your kids are hooked, then we deliver the academics in a way that really makes sense to them. This video (right) is a sneak preview of a live workshop I did in Alaska recently. I always start my camp by asking questions... (click PLAY now) |
How do I register?
There's limited space in Summer Science Camp (because I give individual support kids and don't want to be overwhelmed). As I write this, there are 50 spots available. Since I'm telling over 38,869 families about it, my guess is they will go REALLY fast.
Supercharged Science Summer Camp is: August 8-12, 2011.
You will be sent an information packet containing all the details about the camp, as well as planning your trip, once your registration is complete. Thanks for joining me, and let's make it a fantastic summer together!
Enroll my child in the Supercharged Science Summer Camp for August 8-12, 2011.YES! Aurora, I want in! Please enroll my kids in the summer Supercharged Science camp program for $495 per child. I understand that the camp runs Monday through Friday, Aug 8-12, 2011 from 10am to approximately 2pm, plus a special evening astronomy night for the whole family, in San Luis Obispo, California. I also understand that if I need to cancel, I may request a full refund before June 19, 2011. To get started with your registration,
