Red Hook Central School District

Mill Road Elementary School held an inaugural STEAM Camp in July 2025, giving students an opportunity to explore scientific and creative concepts through hands-on activities.

The five-day camp featured projects such as building bridges, catapults and marble runs using ping pong balls. On the final day, parents and guardians had the chance to visit and engage with projects and activities.

"I loved it," said Pedro Espinosa, who will be entering fifth grade. "It's the best camp I've ever been to."

The camp utilized the STEAM room located on the 3-5 side of the Mill Road building and was led by Principal Dr. Brian Boyd, Assistant Principal Kristen Strothmann, and STEAM teacher Sybil Bell.

"It's been everything we hoped it was going to be," Boyd said. "With STEAM, when you're talking about science, technology and the arts all together, it gets kids excited about learning."
