Are you on the lookout for science, technology, engineering and math summer programs for your kids? Here you will find a comprehensive list of STEM summer camps in Massachusetts, including coding camps, science camps, math camps, engineering camps, and more!
If you want your child to develop their STEM skills over the summer, Massachusetts has a lot to offer. Our state’s vibrant and supportive STEM ecosystem comprised of universities, educators, organizations, and companies provides the basis for a lot of diverse programs.
I have created tables so that you can quickly view all of the programs and evaluate them based on criteria that are important to you and your child, such as an area of focus, age, location, and cost.
The tables are broken into three categories: (1) university programs, (2) local non-university programs, and (3) national programs with MA locations. No two programs are alike, so it’s best to visit the program’s site to learn more and get specific details.
Important: Many of these programs fill up fast, and some require students to apply for acceptance, while others simply require registration. If you’re interested in a summer camp, it’s best to start investigating now!
