Summer vacation with childcare
Join the Science Park Summer School! Located on the NMBU campus in Ås municipality, Vitenparken a science center with a focus on sustainability and the environment that offers a unique summer experience for children when parents are at work. Our summer school includes childcare provided by our engaging science hosts, as well as food throughout the day.
Our dedicated educators and facilitators have developed a varied program full of educational and fun activities. From solving mysteries like real detectives and exploring cryptic writings to exploring the science behind electricity and making our own batteries, there are no limits to the fun and learning!
In addition, we will take an exciting journey through VitenEnga, our own kitchen garden, where children will learn about plants and prepare delicious dishes with fresh ingredients straight from the garden. And don't forget our exciting treasure hunt excursion, as well as the opportunity to learn a little about programming!

Learning through experience:
Summer vacation at Vitenparken bridges the gap between play and learning. Throughout the week, we integrate themes related to science, mathematics and sustainable development – not as an abstract concept, but as a practical, understandable and inspiring part of everyday life. The children learn how they can use knowledge to make a difference for the future.
