Kids Unlimited Academy

For "Build It!" week, Kids Unlimited campers at KU Academy put their creativity, teamwork and engineering skills to the test.

Students designed, built and created through a variety of hands-on activities. Campers tackled foam towers, Play-Doh towers, DIY foosball, race tracks, pop-up art and other STEM challenges while exploring creativity, problem-solving and basic engineering concepts.

One of the biggest highlights of the week was our field trip to City of Medford's Rogue X indoor pool, where campers cooled off, swam and made more summer memories.

Kids Unlimited Summer Camp at KU Academy made a splash "Under the Sea!"

Our weeklong theme explored the ocean's wonders through creative art projects, sensory activities and hands-on learning. Students made fluffy dish soap slime, ocean animal squishies, Cheerio octopuses, pom pom fish, colorful jellyfish, ribbon fish and more! Campers also enjoyed kinetic sand and our "fish out of water" activity.

Among the biggest highlights was our field trip to the Children's Festival on Jacksonville's Britt Festival grounds. Campers enjoyed a day filled with music, entertainment, interactive experiences and summer memories!

Kids Unlimited Summer Camp at KU Academy transformed campers into "mad scientists" for a week full of exciting experiments, creative projects and messy fun!

Our young scientists stayed busy with hands-on STEM activities, including making glow-in-the-dark slime, blowing up balloons using CO₂, creating lava lamps, launching balloon rockets, building hoop gliders and experimenting with the classic Diet Coke & Mentos reaction.

Creativity was just as important as science! Students designed their own monsters in our "invent-a-monster lab," mixed up soft cloud dough, painted watercolor galaxies, made homemade bubbles and wands, and even created delicious ice cream in a bag while learning about changes in matter. They also built erupting volcanoes and explored engineering through edible creations.

Kids Unlimited Summer Camp at KU Academy celebrated "Stars, Stripes & Summer Fun" during week 3.

Campers made delicious homemade lemonade from scratch, giving them the opportunity to practice measuring, mixing and teamwork. They also created colorful firework salt paintings, patriotic Play-Doh and Statue of Liberty crowns, expressing their creativity through art.

We also had the exciting opportunity to partner with Britt Music & Arts Festival. Visiting musical artist Gabriel Globus-Hoenich led a percussion bucket-drumming workshop for our grade K-3 campers, giving students a fun, interactive experience while exploring rhythm, music and teamwork.

Kids Unlimited Summer Camp at KU Academy had another fantastic week of summer fun! For Week 2, campers explored the animal world through creativity, STEM and hands-on learning.

One of the biggest highlights was our STEM activity, "elephant toothpaste"! Campers loved watching the exciting chemical reaction and had a blast exploring the foamy results afterward.

Students created their own animal habitats by choosing an animal and designing a home that met its needs. Campers also made adorable clothespin butterflies and colorful pony bead animals. A few students even turned their creations into unique earrings using beads for resin.

Your student can still join the fun! KU Summer Camp continues through Aug. 7, and registration is open. Download a registration packet at https://kuoregon.org/summer-camp-2026/
