At SEMO Horizons, kids get hands-on with science, space, and creativity through activities led by real SEMO educators. In partnership with Discovery Playhouse Children’s Museum, this year’s program features six camps focused on space exploration, paleontology, superheroes and hands-on science adventures for children ages 6-12 on SEMO's Cape Girardeau campus. Horizons costs $135 per week, all supplies are provided, and every participant takes home a t-shirt.

Each camp combines hands-on activities with opportunities for creativity, problem-solving and exploration, helping young learners discover new interests while making summer learning fun and engaging.
