SUMMARY:Forensic Science Camp
DESCRIPTION:Forensic Science Camp \n\n\n\nGrades 3rd & up \n\n\n\nStudents should pack a water bottle and a sack lunch \n\n\n\nStep into the shoes of a detective at Forensic Science Camp! Campers will explore the exciting world of crime scene investigation and learn how real scientists solve mysteries using evidence. \n\n\n\nThroughout the camp\, students will investigate fingerprints\, footprints\, and other forensic techniques through hands-on experiments and interactive activities. They will practice observation\, deduction\, and problem-solving skills as they work to solve fun\,age-appropriate “mysteries” in a safe and engaging environment. \n\n\n\nThis camp is perfect for young scientists who love puzzles\, experiments\, and hands-on learning. By the end of the week\, campers will have a deeper understanding of forensic science and the critical thinking skills that detectives use every day.

SUMMARY:Sound & Stage Production Camp
DESCRIPTION:Sound & Stage Production Camp \n\n\n\nAges 5th grade & up\, space is very limited \n\n\n\n$100\, members receive a 10% discount \n\n\n\nStep behind the scenes and discover what it takes to run a live show! In this exciting three-day camp\, students will explore the world ofsound and stage production while learning the essential skills used in concerts\, performances\, and community events. \n\n\n\nThe first day\, campers will meet at the Becker County Museum from 1pm-4pm for hands-on experience with professional production equipment. Students will learn the purpose and function of key gear such as microphones\, speakers\, mixing boards\, cables\, and stageequipment. They will also practice proper setup\, safe handling\, and basic troubleshooting while gaining an understanding of how sound systems and stage production work together to create a successful event. \n\n\n\nDay two\, students will take their learning into the real world by meeting at the City Park to assist with load-in for alive community show. If Campers want to experience a full production (load-in and load-out\, support basic production tasks\, and see firsthand how a live event comes together from behind the scenes) they should plan to stay until 7-8pm Exact times willbe TBD once the tech riders are received. Campers should plan to bring a water bottle\, and pack supper. \n\n\n\nDay three\, students will meet back at the Becker County Museum from 1-4pm to discuss what was learned\, any challenges that presented during the production and take away thoughts. \n\n\n\nThis camp is perfect for students interested in music\, theater\, technology\, or live events and offers a unique opportunity to learn real production skills while participating in an actual community performance experience.
