Let your inner scientist come out to play and explore the wonders of the natural world: take part in one of the many science summer programs available. These programs and camps, designed for middle and high schoolers, offer a treasure trove of possibilities for learning and adventure. Seeking a boost for your current science classes? Prepping for standardized tests like the ACT or SAT? Eager to check out different STEM fields? There’s a program for you!
Science summer programs go a step further than traditional classes. You engage with instructors who bring science to life through experiments, hands-on activities, and field studies. These programs offer a breadth of topics, from anthropology and astronomy to chemistry, ecology, and zoology (and a million topics in between). Learn about the role of environmental science in different fields. Explore life’s building blocks in biology or unravel Earth’s history in geology — the possibilities are endless.
Whether you attend a science camp or program, you’ll receive more than academic enrichment. Many programs include residential housing and fun extracurricular activities inviting you to connect with nature and fellow science enthusiasts. Imagine a hike, dirt bike ride, or camping and rafting adventure out in the wilderness! These programs offer a holistic experience that combines learning and exploration.
This summer, embrace the extraordinary.
