Camp Activities: scienceSeeds is a science based enrichment program geared to children in K-5th grade. We believe that science starts with questions about the world – the kind of questions that children ask their parents and teachers all day. Our activities dispel the myth that science is difficult and inaccessible. We engage children in an ongoing process of exploration and discovery through hands-on experimentation, trial and error and some good old-fashioned fun.

Located in Princeton, our summer camp offers an inviting, nurturing and family friendly environment. By design, space is limited so that each child receives a lot of personal attention. We have a high teacher to student ratio and our faculty includes numerous scientists and aspiring young scientists. Each week, we will explore a new topic so pick and choose from our list.

Camp hours are 9:00-3:00pm with the opportunity for extended days as well.

• June 14-18 – Storm the Castle.
• June 28-July 2- Saving our Planet one scientist at a time.

Summer Nanny Available

posted 1/10/10
Hello! My name is Caroline Mills, and I am very interested in being a summer nanny. I have years of babysitting experience and love being around kids. I am 19 years old and have lived in Hopewell Borough with my family all of my life. Currently I am attending the University of Pittsburgh as a freshman. Because of my college schedule, I have a very long summer and can work from when I get home (May 2nd or so) through about August 25th. I am interested in a full-time nanny position, 5 or so days a week. I have my own car which I will have access to throughout the summer and am proud to say that I’m an extremely safe driver! I am also easily available to sit for families during any evenings or some weekends if desired. I will be home between March 4th and 14th for my spring break if you would like to meet me before the summer. You can reach me at school by emailing me (CarolineRMills@gmail.com).
