A science summer camp for kids ages 8–11 can creatively integrate mental health learning by exploring curiosity, resilience, and problem-solving through hands-on experiments and discovery. As campers investigate scientific concepts, they also learn to manage frustration, embrace mistakes, and work collaboratively—building emotional skills like perseverance, confidence, and self-regulation. Discussions around the scientific method naturally connect to a growth mindset and critical thinking, helping kids understand that learning is a process. This blend of science and mental health fosters both intellectual and emotional development in a fun, supportive environment.
