Want your child to enjoy a full day of fun?
Ember & Root is partnering with Nutty Scientists to offer a seamless full-day camp experience right here at our facility.
Nutty Scientists will run an engaging morning camp from 9:00–12:00, and Ember & Root will take it from 12:00–3:30 with our signature afternoon programming.
Full-day campers will enjoy a 12:00–12:30 lunch break supervised by Ember & Root (please send a packed lunch). After lunch, children will transition smoothly into our PM camp for an afternoon of creativity, community, and choice-filled fun.

This half-day camp is all about the joyful moments of snap, crackle, and pop—from surprising

Each day includes:
● A TinkerKitchen snack activity (think popping, fizzing, or crackling treats!)
● whole-group games inspired by countdown fun
● A selection of themed offerings kids may choose from
● Open choice time to play, create, and follow their own ideas
All materials are included, and campers enjoy the same warm, clubhouse-style setting Ember &
Root is known for.
