BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Camp IO, is an exciting hands-on science, yoga, and art camp for children ages 5-12 that love hands-on science activities, making cool things, and learning about the inner science of yoga. Spaces fill fast, so call today for more info.

CAMP LOCATION: We are located in Columbia, MD not far from The Columbia Mall, Howard Community College, and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

CAMP FACILITIES: We have a beautiful space that includes a state of the art yoga studio and a workshop/classroom that allows for lots of hands-on learning.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: At Camp IO, children ages 5-12 have fun with hands-on science activities and making cool things. They take a look at how everyday objects work and the world around them. Each day, campers switch their outer science tools for a yoga mat and learn about the inner science of yoga. They learn about fun and easy ways to stay healthy and harmonize their bodies, minds and energy to decrease stress, increase endurance and improve focus.

Our mission is to offer children a safe, fun, encouraging and enriching environment to learn and practice the outer science of engineering and the inner science of yoga. All of our activities combine inquiry-based learning with the STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics) initiative in mind.

“Hands-on” means that your child can engage the five senses when learning. Research shows that more information is retained when learning is active and participant-based. Camp IO is an exciting and engaging way for children to learn, be enriched and interact in a mindful way with the world around them.

Camp IO was created by Antoinette Murray (Murray Educational Services), Joseph Murray and Valencia Wood (SoilSound). Together, they provide an exceptional hands-on science and yoga experience. In addition to Camp IO, they offer programs in public and private schools and conduct workshops for children and adults in Howard County, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Washington, DC and Virginia.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Children ages 13 - 17 can apply to be a CIT. Please call for more information.
