Children ages 10 to 14 can explore the four primary skilled trade sectors in our fun and engaging weeklong Trade Up! Summer Camp.  Activities and projects included exploration of construction, carpentry, electricity, plumbing, and more.

Camp attendees will also have the opportunity to explore the museum and experience a private showing of HODC’s Guinness Record breaking Tesla Coil Show and tie dye a Hands On! tee shirt. Space is VERY limited to ensure safety, register early to secure a spot. 

All attendees MUST pre-register.  We are unable to accommodate walk-ups.

Ages: Campers MUST be 10 years old by June 1, 2025, and no older than 14 years old on July 30, 2025.

Late pick-up is available between 4:30 and 5:30pm.

HODC received grant funding from GSK to support extended programming for 2025 summer camps and therefore late pick-up is at no cost for this year.  Space is limited.  GSK’s Be a Health Scientist! program invites children to take the role of scientists and engineers as they investigate problems related to human health and well-being. The activities encourage scientific practices like making observations and testing hypotheses.
