Mix. Explore. Taste. Repeat!
Give your child a sweet and educational summer at our Lancaster kids summer camp! STEM for Sweets is a hands-on, four-day camp where campers dive into the science behind their favorite sugary treats — and get to eat their experiments. Designed for curious young chefs and scientists, this camp blends chemistry, engineering, and culinary creativity in a fun, safe environment.
Campers will:
Explore chemistry by shaking up homemade ice cream
Learn baking fundamentals while creating chocolate chip cookies
Master melting points by dipping pretzels in chocolate
Engineer edible masterpieces like dirt pudding with homemade whipped cream
Gain hands-on experience with measurements, reactions, and food science principles
Safety Note: This camp involves hot equipment and recipes that may contain gluten, eggs, or dairy. Students with allergies or sensitivities should take appropriate precautions.

By the end of the week, he made his own video game and learned to edit videos. He sometimes struggles to make friends in new environments, but by the end of the week, he was happily chatting away with other campers. Highly recommend!Posted on Nicole WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have 3 kiddos ages 7-13 and Lancaster Tech Camps have camps that match interests and age levels for all 3 of them. The prices are reasonable and the camps are run by awesome Hempfield teachers with high school students as helpers. Year after year they enjoy their camp experience!Posted on Ashley W.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son loved the Robotics programs.
