The Works' camps and classes are ideal for girls and boys who love to explore, discover, design and build. Campers have fun and learn how things work with hands-on projects in many areas of science and engineering.

The Works' 15th Annual Summer Camps!

Online registration is now open! Sign up below.

Choose a camp (or several). To read camp descriptions, click on the title. Please note that grade level listed indicates the grade your child will enter in Fall 2010.

Click on the [register] link to the right of the camp you'd like. You will be able to complete all steps of registration, including payment, online. It's as easy as that! Please note: The Works can only accept Visa or Mastercard.

Questions? Contact Emily at 952-848-4857 or emily@theworks.org with any questions, comments, or concerns. You can also call to register by phone.

If the camp you are interested in is closed, that means it's full. But don't worry! Sometimes spots open up. If you'd like to be on the wait list for a particular camp, contact Emily (see above).

[Note 4/21: Due to popular demand, we have just added a new session of Mini Engineers August 2-4! Check it out below.]
