This summer, Bay Mills Community College transforms into a week-long laboratory for curious minds. The Summer Science Camp at BMCC is a hands-on adventure designed for young scientists who want to mine gems, launch rockets, and even survive a zombie apocalypse.
 
Every day brings something new. Campers will rotate through activities that blend biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science - all with a heavy dose of fun.BMCC Summer Science Camp Flyer 2026

Why This Camp?
Because real science isn’t just textbooks - it’s asking questions, making messes, launching things, and sometimes planning for pretend zombies. This camp is for the kid who wants to know why and how... and also wants to eat ice cream afterward.
Spots are limited. Check with the Boys & Girls Club of Bay Mills for registration details.
See you at BMCC this July where summer gets smart and silly!
