Weekly Camps

Bionerds offers a-week long camps throughout the Winter, Spring, and Summer Breaks.  Guest speakers (related to nature wildlife, marine life, and research/medical fields) may be also offered for some sessions (depending on COVID-19 health guidelines at the time).  The registration for in-person camps may come with a little “live friends” (upon your permission depending on class topics) or toys, a Bionerds Certificate at the end of the session, and, of course, fun times with the Bionerds staff.  We offer half-day camps in the morning or afternoon (2-3 hours each day) on all sites and full-day camps (multiple half-day camps back to back) on some sites.

Guest Speakers

We are excited to offer IN-PERSON programs.  No ONLINE programs at the moment. The IN-PERSON sessions are subject to change to adhere to local government guidelines.  Please read our In-Person Class Protocol for Parents or Guardians to review how Bionerds will do an extra length to keep our students and teachers safe in class. For other facilities we contract with, please refer to their specific registration websites. Thank you.

Please note that some of the topics listed will be slightly different in different facilities to accommodate scheduling and interests.  The curricula for the online formats are also modified if they are offered.  Please check the specific class descriptions on the registration website for the facility of your interest.
