Nutty Scientists® Camp is a five-day science and educational camp for children, designed to spark an interest in science from an early age through play, fun and interactive workshops. Children explore as many as six scientific fields – from chemistry, biology and physics to ecology, astronomy and engineering – with a strong focus on developing STEAM skills.
The camp takes place in the natural surroundings of the ZEC Kontija centre, and the programme is delivered in small groups with a highly personalised approach. Activities include independent work, work in pairs, specialised workshops and meetings with renowned Croatian scientists. Special attention is also given to personal development, healthy nutrition, sport and environmental awareness.
Nutty Scientists Camp is led by professionally trained instructors, and the atmosphere is both professional and exceptionally fun, with regular and transparent communication with parents.
Participants are provided with three healthy meals a day and snacks, time spent in the Kontija Forest, and access to the Science and Education Centre equipped with the latest technology across all STEM fields. The package also includes gifts – a science T-shirt, a science journal, a personalised Nutty name badge and camp photos. At the end of the camp, participants receive a certificate of attendance.
