Each morning, campers travel on a quest back in time to 1800's Warsaw to keep the police from finding a young Marie Curie's science classes by solving challenges on heat, temperature, and energy. Then it’s on to the 20th century, exploring electricity and designing roller coasters. Later in the day, campers learn how to catch a water balloon, and use a microscope, among other discoveries.
