Break Camps

Just because school is on a break doesn’t mean the learning has to stop!

Orlando Science Center hosts break camps when Orange County Public Schools or Seminole County Public Schools are out of session for teacher work days and holiday breaks including winter and spring break.

Engaging break camps give children a productive and fun way to spend their time off from school with a chance to learn more about STEM in an exciting, interactive environment. Campers will explore a variety of hands-on science topics in a classroom setting and outdoors!

To learn more about our Break Camps, please contact the Reservations Department at 407.514.2112 or email classes@osc.org.

Are you mad for space science? We are! Join us as we explore our solar system and its place in our universe. Discover how the Sun provides energy for living things, learn how humans can live in space, and design robots that could function on other planets.

Preschool: Frosty Returns

How do you build a snowman? What if you live somewhere snow doesn’t fall? Let’s take a snowy journey in our sleigh as we explore the phenomenon of snowflakes, the three states of matter, and what extreme weather may occur in the winter such as…BLIZZARDS!

K-2: Superhero Science

Push yourself to soar higher, go further, and be faster as we launch into the science behind your favorite superheroes! Harness the power of the elements, create superhero gadgets, and race to super speeds while working as a team to overcome obstacles. It’s the science behind superpowers!

3-5: Ocean Watch

Calling all Marine Biologists! Join us for a deep dive into Florida's oceans as we study local habitats and the creatures that call our waterways home. Uncover secrets of the deep and learn new ways to help conserve our oceans!

Preschool: All Things That Go!

Look up in the sky, gaze over the roaring waters or take a look around you! Many things move, but each vehicle takes you to a different place. It’s not about where you’re going, it’s about what gets you there. Hop on a train, travel down under the sea, or soar high above the clouds. Each mode of transportation moves in different ways. Join us as we explore all the things that go!

K-2: Magic School Bus Adventures (NEW)

A normal camp with the Frizz? No way! Hop on board and get ready to explore on this one-way ride to parts unknown. Let the bus do its stuff as you surf on a soundwave, dive into oceans deep and wide, swing thru the stars, and shrink to get a better look inside. Seatbelts on! It’s time to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy together because the Magic School Bus is ready to go!

Obsessed with the world of Roblox? Bring it to life one brick at a time while learning about game design, 3D animation, and coding.
