MadScience2020
A Superb Combo Program!  Back by Popular Demand!

We are excited to offer these fantastic programs, featuring two popular elements that kids love — science exploration and rock climbing! We partner with Mad Science and Rocksport to bring these awesome opportunities to your child. Children will learn about the featured science topic of the day, enjoy a snack that is provided, and then, have a blast as they rock climb. There are two great sessions for the kids to enjoy!

It will be a great afternoon for the kids! Let’s ROCK this perfect combo!
