Come  and join Merrimack Parks & Recreation and Top Secret Science for  this very cool and fun vacation program!  Each day the kids will explore  weird and wacky hands-on science experiments and will make and take  home all the projects. 

The scientists are fast paced and funny and your kids will be thoroughly entertained (they’ll even learn some interesting  things too). We will explore weird motions and flying things, air and  water pressure; crazy chemistry, light and sound, science magic,  electricity, magnets, astronomy and more. Be prepared for lots of fun  stuff. A wonderful 6 hours of science each day.

Program will be held in the Function Hall at Wasserman Park. Please note that attendees will need to bring their own lunch.
