Club SciKidz Franchise

Bob and Sue Hagan established Club SciKidz in 1997. Both held master’s degrees in education, and their combined teaching experience shaped the business originally operated as Summer Science Day Camps, Inc. The first camp, “Special Effects,” introduced children to the science behind Hollywood effects.

The program expanded to serve additional ages and interests. Camp Young Scientist was introduced in 2001 for children in first and second grade, followed by more science and technology themes. The official history dates the launch of the franchise program to 2007.

Over time, Club SciKidz developed beyond summer day camps into after-school science clubs, robotics, assemblies, in-school field trips and teacher workshops. Its subjects now span areas such as veterinary medicine, engineering, chemistry, game creation and astronomy, while retaining the founders’ emphasis on learning through practical activities.

Club SciKidz describes a four-day initial program at its corporate training headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, combining classroom and on-the-job instruction. The business coaching program covers managing the franchise, marketing locally and obtaining and maintaining school accounts.

Owners receive access to the proprietary operations manual and lesson plans through secure online storage. The system also provides camp inventory kits from a national science-equipment supplier, online registration and management software, and online accounting and payroll tools.

Continuing operating resources include professional guidance, curriculum access and employee training delivered online and in person. These resources support the recurring work of preparing programs, organizing instructors, managing registrations and serving school partners as the local business develops.

Club SciKidz gives an owner a way to turn an interest in education into a local service business. Camps and school enrichment create different occasions to connect with families, while prepared lesson plans allow the owner to focus on organizing delivery and building community relationships.

The model is a good subject for consideration by someone who enjoys developing people, coordinating schedules and helping children explore new ideas. Strong local execution and relationships matter alongside the curriculum. Contact FranchiseTop40 to explore how Club SciKidz could fit your background and goals.
