Montgomery Bell Academy: Crazy Science (Little Explorers)

If your kindergartner or preschooler is the type who asks "why" about everything, this week-long science camp at Montgomery Bell Academy is worth a look. Little Explorers centers on hands-on experiments designed specifically for the PreK-K crowd — think fizzy reactions, messy mixtures, and activities that show kids how the world actually works. At ages 4–6, children are just starting to build scientific curiosity, and this camp meets them right there rather than pushing abstract concepts. The program runs mornings only, 9 a.m. to noon, which makes it a good fit for younger kids who aren't quite ready for a full day away. It runs one week — June 15–19 — at MBA's campus on Harding Pike. Cost ranges from $260 to $360, with the spread likely reflecting the half-day versus full-day choice mentioned in the program. Each camper takes home a personalized science kit, which is a nice way to extend the curiosity past Friday. Families also explore Montgomery Bell Academy: Fun with Robotics, Montgomery Bell Academy: Out of This World Science, and Montgomery Bell Academy: Simple Machines & LEGO Gadgets for similar STEM options at the same campus.
