In January, Archie’s Adventure Camp is all about building. Participants will build friendships, confidence, and skill by working on activities and experiments based on STEM models in engineering. We’ll work together to build model bridges and houses and learn how to make them stronger. We’ll learn about the laws of gravity and energy when we build a roller coaster. We’ll even construct our own catapults. And we’ll have lots of fun while we’re at it. Join us for Archie’s Adventure Camp on Monday, January 20 from 8:00am – 3:00pm at the Archway. The cost is $30/student. Snacks and lunch are included. For more information, call the Archway at (308) 237-1000. Register online by clicking the link at left.
