Kinesiology, Engineering & Sustainability
A “STEAMM” Outdoors Experience
The KES Summer Day Camp creates accessible, engaging learning environments where students can move, explore, and create. By blending physical activity, creative exploration, and career-connected skills, KES empowers youth to see the world through the lens of science, technology, and community.
Through dynamic STEAM learning, participants experience:
Kinesiology & Movement Science – exploring how the body moves and performs.
Material Science, Gear Design & Environmental Impact – understanding the science behind gear, equipment, and sustainable design.
Outdoor Learning – connecting with nature through hands-on exploration.
Local Outdoor Industry Introductions – engaging with community experts and outdoor businesses.
Every session is movement-based, hands-on, and connected to the real world—designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and strengthen ties between young people and their communities. There are many more topics within the 3 pillars our students will experience!
We give you $50 off for siblings.

Our day at Explora (ABQ) will be a dedicated visit focused on sewing and fabrics commonly found in performance wear. We’ll also explore topics related to health (optometry, connecting eyewear design found in recreation).
If you enjoy your time, I recommend checking out the museum and X Studio for continued exposure to sewing techniques and creative projects.

The KES Career Exploration Certificate recognizes students’ participation in a structured career readiness experience focused on STEAM, environmental, and outdoor-related pathways. The program supports students in building foundational professional skills, developing awareness of emerging fields, and gaining exposure to how education connects to real-world careers.
Students explore how to approach their academic and career decisions with intention, learn how to articulate their skills and experiences, and begin shaping a personal pathway that reflects their interests and strengths. The experience also introduces students to evolving trends in technology and workforce development, helping them better understand how to navigate future opportunities.
By completing the program, students gain a clearer sense of direction, increased confidence in decision-making, and a stronger foundation for future academic and career pursuits.

Through hands-on exploration, students investigate how natural systems work, including topics like camouflage, animal adaptation, water ecosystems, and basic geology. They begin to understand how landscapes are formed, how rocks and soil tell the story of the environment, and how living and non-living systems interact. This includes exploring phenomena such as blue-green algae and how aquatic environments function as living systems.

As part of the summer program, students set out on guided morning hikes on select days along local trails to learn directly from the landscape around them. These experiences turn the outdoors into a living classroom, where curiosity leads the way.
Along the trail, students explore how outdoor spaces are designed and cared for—examining signage, learning about trail maintenance, and observing how paths are built and maintained for safe public use. They take a closer look at local flora and fauna, practice basic map reading and navigation skills, and learn how to notice patterns in the natural environment.
These hikes help students build confidence in outdoor movement while developing observation skills, environmental awareness, and a deeper understanding of how recreation spaces are made accessible and possible.
