Science Heroes Performed at BGCG’s Camp Simmons courtesy of Friends of Greenwich Library

The Friends of Greenwich Library were delighted to host a performance with Science Heroes at Boys & Girls Club Greenwich’s Camp Simmons on Tuesday, July 8.

Campers joined Science Heroes on their mission to turn science into an adventure. Through hands-on experiments and fun, interactive stories, Science Heroes got campers excited about the science that’s all around us as they celebrated the scientists who color our world with art!

This performance featured amazing experiments focused on chemical reactions, laws of motion, air pressure, and was enjoyed by about 275 campers. Campers also had a chance to learn about Greenwich Library’s Summer Reading program, Level Up at your Library.

Science Heroes offers a high-energy performance style and collection of amazing, highly visual experiments. Science nurtures children’s natural curiosity and wonder about the world. Empowered through this positive experience, children will approach S.T.E.M. subjects with more confidence, setting them on a journey to become lifelong learners.

This program was made possible by the generous contributions from the Friends of Greenwich Library. The Friends of Greenwich Library’s mission is to welcome and reflect the Greenwich Community through volunteer engagement and to develop and support exceptional programs and services that promote the joy of lifelong learning and discovery.
