Specialties
We offer the best science day camps in Hawaii on Island of Oahu. Our STEM driven activities accommodate the need of learning, summer fun and supervision during vacations, holidays and schools closure days. Our Hawaii base camps are located in Kailua (25 min scenic drive from Honolulu).
What sets SparkYou science camps apart and positions us as the best Hawaii kids camps choice for young learners is our commitment to a personalized and immersive educational experience. Our uniqueness lies in maintaining a low student-to-teacher ratio, ensuring that each child receives individualized attention and guidance. Unlike other camps, we prioritize quality over quantity by having a higher number of teachers serving as counselors. This approach allows us to foster a supportive, safe for all and interactive learning environment, where curiosity is nurtured, questions are encouraged, mistakes are welcomed and young minds are free to explore the wonders of science. Our emphasis on chemistry and physics with hands-on experiments further distinguishes us, providing ample opportunities for students to propose and engage directly with scientific concepts, reinforcing their understanding through real-world applications. At SparkYou camps, we believe in the transformative power of education, kindness, safe environment and collaboration with your peers.
History
Established in 2018.
My adventure with science camps for children started during Covid lockdown when I opened SparkYou services to public service employees facing limited options for childcare while working to ensure everyone’s safety. During that time, I learned how important it is to keep students actively engaged not only through a virtual interface of a computer, but in person, providing safe collaborative environment.
Meet the Business Owner: Natasha S.
I am the owner of SparkYou who loves science and kids. I am a geek at heart, but I also like playing beach volleyball & tennis.
Since 2018 I teach STEM for grades K-12. I have worked in Hawaii public and private school systems including Aikahi, Ka’ohao, Waimanalo Elementary Schools, La Jardin Academy and tutor kids from all over the island. I hold BS degree in Civil Engineering, MS degrees in Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering. I have extensive background in drug and vaccine development subjects due to my past, long time employment at Merck, KGAA.
My goal is to keep your kids safe, curios and entertained during their time away from school or home. I am fascinated with little brains and how they work. I love watching kids get curious about not only science but just the ordinary life. I believe social interactions with other kids and lots of time outside on a fresh air is the best we can offer our kids.
