Campers will attend classes that include problem solving, research, critical thinking and communication skills incorporated into biology, chemistry, physics, environmental sciences, earth sciences, engineering, technology and design concepts, in addition to going on field excursions. Certified secondary teachers, university faculty, and seasoned professionals will serve as instructors.
