If you know your kids are going to go stir crazy in the house while they're out of school for the holidays, then science camp could be the perfect solution. 

Winter Camps will begin at Mid-America Science Museum in Hot Springs on Tuesday, Dec. 20 and will last throughout the holiday break with day camps covering a variety of science-related topics. 

The camps are appropriate for kids ages 8-12 and subjects range from animation to engineering to the science behind ice cream. See the full list of topics here. 

"It gives the kids a chance to really immerse themselves in hands-on science learning over the holiday break,” said Doug Herbert, director of education at Mid-America Science Museum.

Camps will take place Dec. 20-23 & 29-31 and last the whole day. Drop-off time is 8 a.m. with daily pickup times of no later than 5 p.m.
