Summer at the Science Museum of Long Island is filled with fun, excitement, and science. Thousands of children ages four to fourteen have enjoyed summers of experiments and projects at SMLI. SMLI’s summer camp offers a unique program: 8 separate weeks, each with a different theme. Try it out for one week, sign up for the whole summer, or any combination in between! You must be a member to register. Membership is $100 for one year and applies to your entire family.
Grade levels are based on the class year a child has just completed. |
