People Behind Destination Science!

Our team has been committed to creating unique, memorable, and valuable summer science programs for children for over ten years. Our reputation precedes us for a reason — we take science and fun seriously!

Kathy, Sharon, and Heena are committed to developing the best possible programs every year and meeting the varied needs of camper families.  They are equally passionate about learning, fun, safety, and child development – not to mention science!

Kathy Heraghty loves to bring science concepts to life for kids in a fun, safe, and exploratory setting.  “Destination Science is a chance for kids to really dig into science fun — with hands-on experiences — and satisfy their curiosities,” she exclaims.
