CLEVELAND (February 13, 2012) – Calling all kids in grades K – 8 for spring break! The Science Center is hosting two weeks of one-day camps in both March and April. Launch a rocket, explore the night sky, build a robot using LEGO technology, create an ecosystem or make tasty science experiments that you can eat.

“Here at the Science Center, we encourage kids to get messy and jump right into science,” said Whitney Owens, vice president of education at Great Lakes Science Center. “Our spring break camps are the perfect playground for kids to experiment in a failure-free environment and experience the thrill of making their own discoveries.”

Camp sessions are March 26 – 30 and April 9 –13. All sessions meet from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm each day, with extended care options available from 7:30 am – 5:30 pm. Camps will be divided by age, and camp content will be tailored to suit the campers’ grade levels.

Cost is $42 per day ($39 for members). Campers may bring a brown bag lunch or purchase lunch for $6.

Register by calling 216-621-2400 (Monday – Friday, 9 am – 5:30 pm). For complete class descriptions and schedule, visit: http://www.greatscience.com/spring_break.php
