The team at Impression 5 has been hard at work prepping for this year's Summer L.A.B.S. program! The Summer L.A.B.S. program offers children hands-on experiences exploring scientific concepts through interactive experimentation, challenges, artistic expression, and play. These unique programs are designed to pique your child’s interest in the world around them, encourage curiosity and creativity, and celebrate new discoveries each day! The Summer L.A.B.S. program offers exciting sessions for ages 5 to 14. 5-year-olds who plan to attend Summer L.A.B.S. must have completed kindergarten by their first program date.

Registration for Summer L.A.B.S. will open to Members only on Tuesday, March 3, at 9 a.m.  Not-yet Member registration will be available the following week starting March 10.
