Education Mid-Shore: STEM Camp Inspires Young Minds

CleanShot 2026 09 28 at 10.51.39 AM

The MidShore STEM camp is designed for curious young kids who want to learn more, turning difficult concepts into hands-on, small adventures. We believe that you’re never too young to start exploring. So we break down science, technology, engineering, and math through interactive play, exciting experiments, and collaborative projects. By cultivating curiosity and making learning feel easier and more fun to do, we help kids truly understand how the world works, inspiring the next generation of thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers one breakthrough at a time. Camps usually last four summer days and use partnerships with local YMCA chapters and the Easton Multicultural Center. The camp is offered at no additional cost to parents.

Hunter Gilroy was the 2026 Easton STEM Camp Senior STEM Leader (i.e. CEO), who observed all aspects of the camp—managing the finance, curriculum, media, operations, and personnel chairs. Hunter is pursuing a career in finance and business management.

Bence (Ben) Watkins was the 2026 Easton STEM Camp Operations Committee Chair. He coordinated the Blackhawk helicopter landing, the use of the airport hangar, purchasing all materials, and all other operational matters. Bence (Ben) Watkins is interested in the intersection of engineering, law, and artificial intelligence—having interned over the summer at an engineering firm.

Max Rene was the 2026 Easton STEM Camp Media Committee Chair. He took pictures and created social media posts for our Instagram. In addition, he uploaded photos to the website and helped edit videos for YouTube and other media organizations. Max is passionate about environmental science and is pursuing a career in it.

This video was produced by the Midshore STEM Camp Team (2026) and is approximately four minutes in length.
