Explore Days are exploratory science programs from a biblical worldview. Every program is designed to enhance a student’s understanding of the topic through hands-on application, visual presentations, and critical thinking. Students will gain a deep appreciation of the content while enjoying the interactive lab components and professional speakers.
The Explore Days program is on a four-year rotating schedule. Each season of Explore Days operates between the months of September and May. During a season, the science programs provided in the fall will be identical to the programs offered in the spring. Many Explore Days sell out and this allows for multiple opportunities for students to attend the programs. The Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 seasons of Explore will be covering Year 4 topics.
You can find answers to common questions on the Explore Days FAQ page.
For those unable to attend during the regular season, check out Explore Summer Camps.
Students ages five to ten can enjoy a special Explore Jr. program on a variety of topics.
