WOW Science Camp

It is amazing what you can find after a heavy storm hits your area. A hummingbirds' nest, bee hive, and squirrel home.

That’s a wrap for WOW! Science Camp 2023. Thank you Stinky Shed Sharks for putting camp supplies away for the year especially during this hot Texas summer!

When our camp nurse isn’t jumping out of helicopters or interacting with raptors, she is tending to our sweet science campers. What’s your superpower?

Every individual learns differently just not in the same way. Our Special Blessings teachers inspire their scientists each day. We are blessed.

Bioluminescent. We are sure you’ll take a shine to kids having fun with bioluminescence found in the sea at all levels. Shine On!

Our teachers love to teach so our children will love to learn. We adore our Group C teachers. We are blessed!

TEACHER: (n)a multi-tasking educational rock star who lives to inspire and loves to encourage. That describes our Group A teachers. We are blessed.

Watching our campers grow up year to year at Science Camp is so fun! This precious one started camp as a very young girl and now will move on to be a Jr. Volunteer next summer- hooray!

Peek a boo, we see you in your den little beavers!

Where is it “normal” to pose with a cute little froggy on your shoulder? WOW Science Camp of course!!

Thank you to all for donating food and used books to Interfaith. It was a beautiful sight watching the donations being loaded onto the Interfaith truck!

Your passion for teaching shines through. Thank you to our teachers in Group B. You are a blessing!

Way awesome Junior Volunteers!

Fabulous Junior Volunteers!

Even a beautiful Disney princess couldn’t resist Lionel the bearded dragon!

It takes a special Jr. Volunteer who can take selfies at the exact time that Victor, our 18 year old Rat Snake, sticks out his tongue… TWICE!!

Sirene, a Eurasian Eagle Owl, is growing up fast! Our campers learned all about this 3 month old owl with very large orange eyes. Many thanks to Wildlife Revealed for educating our campers about raptors!

It takes a special Jr. Volunteer who can take a selfie and time it perfectly when Victor the Rat Snake sticks out his tongue!

Pac Man frog and his proud Jr. Volunteer owner! We love it when kids bring their own special pets to camp!

The kookaburra that visited Science Camp today rides in style! Wildlife Revealed, based in Austin, sent two fabulous speakers and four amazing birds!

Precious.

Future excavator.

We are blessed to have such incredible support from our Assistant Teachers. Their passion for our campers makes all the difference.

In Mrs. Ross’s class, our desert nomads discovered hidden treasures in sand of a miniature desert!

It’s fun to be with friends at Science Camp, even if you’re not in the same class. These besties are sitting by each other for our guest speaker to learn about a snake, a hedgehog and a porcupine!

Look who came to Science Camp today! Franklin the African Crested Porcupine! Our campers enjoyed learning about him from Drew Schulz, zookeeper and owner of The Learning Zoo!

Empowering kids to explore and learn in the wetlands habitat makes learning fun and engaging.

The Learning Zoo is an educational zoo we are fortunate to have in our area. Drew Schulz teaches understanding and respect for all the animals he brings to WOW! Science Camp.

From adorable campers in our Bubblearium to Junior Volunteers, these beauties are growing up right before eyes.

WOW! Science Camp is a family affair. Our awesome Assistant Teacher, Junior Volunteer, and campers get to share this wonderful experience together!

Yes, it’s true. Snowflake is looking for a new fur-ever home❣️

Our adult Super Scientists and their support helpers loved Cha Cha, the red-eyed tree frog!

We are thankful for the always fabulous Lisa Woods. She knows just how to provide an educational presentation. Vanessa, the service dog, took a moment to rest between fun activities.

What do the suction cups of an octopus feel like? Let’s find out in Mrs. Lamb’s and Mrs. Martin’s classes at Science Camp! WOW!

Studying about grasslands in Mrs. Dentler’s class involves planting seeds in dirt and making cheerio caterpillars!

You want me to carry what? An octopus! It’s just another day in the life of being a Jr. Volunteer at WOW Science Camp!

When Mrs. Reyna is your teacher, you get to touch cool things like an alligator specimen when learning about the wetlands!

It’s week 2 for WOW Science Camp! Our Jr. Volunteers were ready and excited to show critters to our campers!

WOW… 29 years of science fun with these two! Kathy Wojtczak and I (Barbara Cargill) created WOW Science Camp all those years ago when our kids were very young. We thought a “few” parents might be interested. Now we have 1,200 young children join us each summer! We are forever grateful to our church and community for allowing us to continue our mission of teaching young children about science and all of God’s creation!
