Assistant Director

Thirty one years ago, Barbara and I put together a science summer camp for children. We were both young Moms with toddlers back then. We have learned so much with a never ending growing edge. We have been blessed with an outstanding and caring staff. The children in our community, over the years, have learned just how fun science can be! Our God is good!
