By facilitating student interaction, children are able to easily grasp science concepts while developing essential teamwork skills.

"The Champions Science Adventures Classroom Kits have allowed us to offer families a versatile and educational summer program that keeps both the campers and the teachers engaged," says Lisa Feinman, Assistant Executive Director of JCC on the Hudson. "Champions does an excellent job of packaging their curriculum into programs with all the bells and whistles that allow us to offer hands-on science that is more than just kitchen chemistry."
