Curious about the natural world? Worried about climate change? Want to learn more about the planet we live on? An environmental science summer program or camp might be perfect for you! Go on a hike or bike ride, paddle a canoe or kayak in a lake or a river, and learn about the environment while you adventure.
You won’t sit in a classroom in one of these environmental science camps. These programs’ curricula explore the impact of natural and human-induced processes on Earth’s delicate ecosystems. You’ll study climate change, pollution, and sustainable practices, examining the complex interplay between the Earth, its oceans, and the atmosphere.
Get a head start for college by earning credits in a pre-college program at a local university or college, where you study alongside undergrads and learn from industry professionals. Choose a program in the U.S. where you explore the American Southwest or the Eastern seaboard. Or venture further afield and travel abroad to Africa to learn how people in Tanzania farm sustainably. Board a research vessel in the Pacific and help study the Great Barrier Reef region. Camp in the foothills of the Andes where the Amazon Basin begins and help organizations protect the world’s largest tropical rainforests.
Sign up for an environmental science summer program and embark on a journey of personal discovery. Learn from the experts. Explore breathtaking locations. And foster your determination to protect the planet. Are you ready to be part of the solution?
