Half Day Summer Camps in Fairfax, VA
Looking for half day summer camps in Fairfax, VA? Nova Labs Makerschool offers hands-on STEM and maker camps designed for kids who thrive in shorter, focused sessions. Our camps give students the chance to build, explore, and create using real tools and materials in a supportive makerspace environment.
Why Choose a Half Day Camp?
Not every family needs a full-day schedule and not every child benefits from one.
Half day camps are a great fit for:
Younger students who are new to camp experiences
Kids who do better with shorter, high-energy sessions
Families balancing multiple summer activities
Parents looking for flexible scheduling options
At Makerschool, our half day format keeps kids engaged, curious, and excited to come back each day.
Hands-On STEM & Maker Learning
Our camps go beyond typical summer activities. Students learn by doing.
Depending on the camp, kids may:
Design and build projects using real tools
Explore 3D printing, electronics, and fabrication
Create art, wearable tech, or engineered builds
Develop problem-solving and creative thinking skills
We focus on building confidence through hands-on making, not just passive learning.
