Science Investigators is a small-group summer science program in Northbrook for children entering 3rd through 5th grade, founded and run by a local high school student. Each week takes one theme - design and engineering, water and density, living vs. non-living, or physical and chemical changes - through daily hands-on experiments, with campers recording observations in a journal. Sessions are short two-hour blocks rather than a full camp day, held either 1:30pm to 3:30pm or 10:00am to 12:00pm depending on the week, at $125 per week with 20% off for two or more weeks.
