ABOUT US
Our mission is to provide a fun and educational summer experience for school-aged children with a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math). We also strive to provide opportunities that allow our campers to use their creativity, imagination, problem solving skills, and innovation to solve problems, work together, and most importantly...HAVE FUN!
​
From launching bottle rockets to designing bridges to creating art with chemistry, we strive to provide a hands on and cohesive curriculum integrating all areas of STEAM that will excite anyone...even us!

ABOUT OUR STAFF
Meet Gina Wenzel...
I am a 6th grade science teacher in the Egg Harbor Township School District and the founder of STEAM at the Shore. I live in EHT with my husband, 2 children, and the best rescue dog ever, Sable!
I am in my 23rd year teaching with experience in grades 5-8 in both regular and special education. I also have a master’s degree in School Counseling. Last year I was awarded Teacher of the Year for 2022-2023!
This will be my 8th summer running STEAM Camps! We always have the best time at STEAM at the Shore, and looking forward to another great summer!
Meet Ashley Mosetti...
Hello Campers!! I am in my 14th year of teaching 8th grade math in the Egg Harbor Township School District. I also live in EHT with my husband and our daughter, Lucy. She is 4.5 and I can tell we have a little engineer on our hands! I am a senior fellow in the University of Notre Dame’s STEM Education Program. I am constantly learning and exploring all the fun possibilities of STEAM!
I can’t wait to meet/ see everyone!
Meet Cherie Arce...
Hey Campers! My enthusiasm for SCIENCE started when I was really young! As a little girl, I loved to create all different kinds of chemical concoctions and try them out on my Mom! My poor Mom was my lab rat LOL! And from there the scientist bug just stuck! After college I worked for a government contractor at the Transportation Security Lab as a chemist for several years, before transitioning into a teacher. Currently, I am in my 12th year of teaching 8th grade science in the Egg Harbor Township School District. I live in the Pine Barrens on the Mullica River with my boys and enjoy being out in the sunshine! I cannot wait to meet you all! It’s going to be a great summer!
