Beam Camp

Strafford, NH

Beam Camp
At Beam Camp, kids ages 9–17 head to a residential summer program in New Hampshire where creative problem-solving happens through working with their hands. Campers move through a wood shop, metal shop, and digital fabrication lab, cultivating hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking and design  — then bring it all together to build one spectacular large-scale collaborative project, chosen through a worldwide design competition. A summer that changes how your child sees what's possible.

Project Feeder Watch

Project Feeder Watch
Turn your backyard, windowsill, or local park into a real research site. Project FeederWatch — run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology — invites kids and families to count and record the birds that visit their feeders and submit that data to a national scientific database. No experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to look up. Your child's observations contribute to real population research that scientists across North America actually use. Small observations. Real science. Genuine impact.

NYBG Eco Quest Challenge

Nybg Eco Quest Challenge
Step outside and do real science — right here in the five boroughs. Each month, NYBG's EcoQuest Challenge gives kids and families a new mission: photograph and document native plants, fungi, and animals across NYC using the iNaturalist app. One month it's monarch butterflies. The next, salt marsh shrubs or oak galls. Your child's observations feed directly into a live scientific dataset that NYBG botanists and conservationists rely on. Citizen science at its best.
