Club SciKidz Founders, Bob and Sue Hagan
Club SciKidz is the best place under the sun for extraordinary summers. Established in 1997, founders Bob and Sue Hagan have created one of America's finest summer science and technology camps. Bob and Sue have a combined 30 plus years of teaching experience and both hold a Master’s Degree in Education.
The first summer camp was called “Special Effects” which taught campers the science involved in Hollywood’s Special Effects techniques. As time progressed, additional age groups and science themes were added. There are currently 60+ themes and counting, each offering exciting hands-on projects and experiments for kids ages 4-15.
Since 1997, more than 100,000 children have attended one or more of Club SciKidz’s science day camps or school programs across the country. Club SciKidz operates franchises across the United States. Each franchise is independently owned and operated. The Greater Milwaukee franchise opened in 2023.
We believe we have the most extensive science enrichment offering in the world.
Club SciKidz was founded on the principle that parents want to provide their children with exciting, challenging, and life impacting academic enrichment experiences. The company is committed to demonstrating how science works in the real world by providing hands-on activities in veterinary medicine, robotics, forensics, video game creation, food science, paleontology, engineering, chemistry and biology, astronomy, oceanography, emergency medicine and filmmaking & special effects. We believe the variety of our offerings truly appeals to all kids!
Our unique science programs are designed to meet the needs of children ages 4-14. Carefully researched science lessons help engage students in observation, measurement, identification of properties, and experimentation involving life, earth, and physical science concepts. The units are rigorously researched by science educators with the help of teachers and children. The results are lessons that students genuinely learn from and enjoy!
