🎉 Breaking News from Geology Camp: Mr. Rocky is officially retiring from the rock business and starting a new career as beach sand! 🪨➡️🏖️ Thanks to weathering and erosion, our campers discovered how rocks change over time.

🪨⛏️ Another ROCK-solid day at Killip STEM Camp! ⛏️🪨

Today our campers dug deep into the exciting world of GEOLOGY! From exploring different types of rocks and minerals to discovering how Earth's amazing features are formed, our young scientists were busy investigating, questioning, and learning through hands-on activities.

The curiosity, teamwork, and excitement were incredible to see as students became geologists for the day! 🌎🔍

Who knew learning about rocks could be this much fun? We can't wait to see what discoveries tomorrow will bring!

WHERE CREATIVITY MEETS INNOVATION! Our Steam campers are turning imagination into incredible works of heART.❤️

Meet “ROCKY”! As our Killip STEM Camp dives deeper into geology.🪨

Dear Killip Families,

Thank you so much to all of the families who have signed their students up for the 2026 Killip Summer School STEM Camp! We are incredibly excited about the amazing response from our community.

We are thrilled to announce… WE ARE FULL!

Our camp is already at capacity, and we cannot wait for students to join us for a summer filled with engaging learning, STEM activities, reading, math, science, and fun experiences.

A letter verifying that your child has been included in the 2026 Killip Summer School STEM Camp has been sent home. Please review, sign, and return the letter as soon as possible to verify your child’s spot in the program.

For families whose students were placed on the wait list, you have also been sent a letter asking if you would like to keep your child’s name on the wait list. Please complete and return that form as well.

We kindly ask all families to check their child’s backpack for these important verification letters and return them promptly.

The good news is that we have already started moving students from the wait list into available classroom spots. Because of this, we strongly encourage families who are still interested to place their child’s name on the wait list as soon as possible. Openings may continue to become available, and we would love the opportunity to include more students in our program.

Thank you again for your support and excitement for the Killip Summer School STEM Camp. We look forward to an amazing summer together!

Sincerely,
Killip Summer School STEM Camp Team

Congratulations to Ms. Almquist on her retirement! She has been at Killip for 29 years. She will be deeply missed, through we are excited for her new adventures in the future. Thank you Ms. Almquist for your dedication and service!
