Can you crack the code and uncover the secrets of cryptology? In this STEM summer camp for 5th and 6th graders, campers will dive into the fascinating world of ciphers, codes, and creative ways to deliver secret messages! Using their sharp observation skills and logical thinking, they’ll solve tricky puzzles, create their own encrypted messages, and learn the strategies behind some of history’s most famous codes. Along the way, they’ll build persistence and tenacity as they take on the role of real-life investigators. By the end of the camp, they’ll be expert codebreakers—ready to amaze their friends with their secret-message mastery! Camp takes places on IMSA's campus in Aurora and runs two identical sessions. The AM session runs from 8:30-11:30am and the PM session runs from 12:30-3:30pm. Individual campers should only attend one session per camp.
