Ever wondered how you keep from flying off the track on a fast roller coaster? In this engineering challenge you will work in small groups to design super roller coasters. By creating the coaster design, attaching lights, and creating a power source your challenge is to make the most exciting ride imaginable that will be racing at the demonstrations. 
Chuck It!
Discover the physics of flight as you construct instruments to launch projectiles and measure their distance, speed, and velocity. If Catapults, sling shots and air cannons are your thing, this is the workshop series for you.
Robotics.
Build and operate your very own robot with your team. See how your robot stands up to others as it is put through the challenges on the robot test track. This course will use the Lego NTX robotic kits.
CSI - Forensics.
Learn to find answers with clues the way crime scene investigators do; using the tried and true scientific approach. Work with your group to unravel a mystery while having a whole lot of fun.
Rocketry and Aeronautics.
Build, launch, and analyze the data from your team’s rocket to make improvements and fly again. Learn about the aeronautics of rockets with hands-on experiments and demonstrations.
Eco Detectives
This course will cater to the young Naturalist at heart. Learn about the environment and the flora/fauna in the surrounding Stokes State Forest. Campers will set up game cameras to observe the local wild life, set up an interpretive trail and work with local professionals to learn about the world around them.
The Search for Bigfoot
A Bigfoot has been sighted around camp, and it is the camper's job to investigate! Using the scientific method, campers will use eye witness accounts, trail camera footage, analysis of the scene and the investigative process to discover if bigfoot really does live at camp!
