DARIEN — A golden opportunity for free fun summer learning was given by the Darien Library this week with S.T.E.A.M. Camp.
With a teaching topic for each day of the weeklong program, to which kids were admitted through a lottery, visiting instructors and children’s librarians gave learners a more interesting time in a different kind of classroom.
“It’s a really unique experience,” said Samantha Cardone, program coordinator. “There aren’t a lot of camps that offer this.”
“It’s making science and math fun for them,” she said.
