Maker and Coding Camps

This summer, we are blasting off into a universe of stories and exploring concepts of science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). STEAM Maker Camps and Coding Intensives are being offered throughout the summer for children and teens. Each camp will explore a different concept and will be held for one week (Monday through Friday) at various Shreve Memorial Library locations. Space is limited, and registration is required for all camps.
