AQ Saints Science Camp

The AQ Science faculty are excited to host the Saints Science Camp again this year, building on our tradition of offering creative, fun and interactive “hands-on” summer science programs. We seek to inspire campers with awe and wonder about the beauty and complexity of nature, and we also begin to plant the seeds of "service through science."  

Science is all around us, and we look forward to exploring scientific challenges with you, and finding answers to design and engineering questions. We are excited to welcome campers to our stunning state-of-the-art science building, better known as the Albertus Magnus Hall of ScienceThe camp fee includes all materials, supplies, classes & a camp T-Shirt!
