Investigative Learning Camp Jr. (Grades 3-4)

Exploration and play lead to serious learning at Lakeside's Investigative Learning Camp Jr. Our camp is open to the public.

Students from any school entering grades 3-4 select two classes (a morning and an afternoon class) per week in the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art) realm. Campers are taught by dynamic elementary and middle-school teachers and supported by a diverse group of camp counselors who share campers’ passion for learning.

Note: Camp offerings and dates for Summer 2026 will be updated on our website in mid-December
