The Carnegie Science Center on the North Side is providing several camps on April 2 and 5 for parents who have to work, and want to keep their kids ages 4 to 10 entertained during spring break.

The camp themes include: Icky Science, where kids discover the science behind scabs, slime, digestion, and other things; Wild Weather Adventure about thunderstorms, snow squalls, and sun showers; and Far Out Space, exploring the stars and planets through hands-on activities and shows in the Buhl Digital Planetarium.

Half-day camps for ages 4 and 5 run 9 a.m. to noon and cost $23, and $20 for members. Full-day camps for ages 6 to 10 will run 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and cost $40, and $36 for members. Pre- and post-camp care is available as early as 7:30 a.m. for an additional $5, and as late as 5 p.m. for an additional $10. Details: 412-237-1637 or www.carnegiesciencecenter.org.
